I wonder if this is a West Coast vs East Coast thing? Moog vs
Buchla (or Serge for that matter). MOTM is East coast with each
module dedicated (more or less) to a single function. So if I
understand correctly, each MOTM module would have low desity. I
like it that way, but that's just me.

I find a mix of these philosophies is best for my system. I gravitate
to east coast for bread and butter stuff: EGs, for instance. I don't
want to have to patch up something more fine grained everytime I need
one. I would hate to have to patch up a bunch of integrators every
time I needed a VCF, either (admittedly an extreme example). My
sequencer philosophy is so east it's out in the Atlantic somewhere -
I want EVERYTHING broken out into separate modules. The price I pay
for this is lots of panel real estate in my system.
However, for esoteric control functions and general weird spicing up
type things, I like to add more functionally dense stuff - Dark Star,
Source of Uncertainty type stuff, cascaded S&H banks, Wogglebug, MOTM
series 500, etc. I have at least 10 or 12 spaces reserved in my final
system design for these types of modules.
I call this unique design philosophy the "midwest" school of design.
