My own personal philosophy is to get two of everything. If its
something I really like or if its something I know is going to be
especially useful then I might get more than two up front. It
doesn't matter a lot to me whether each module contains a multitude
of signal sources or functions. To me the more knobs and the more
controllable parameters the better. For instance I wish the 450
would have an output jack for each filter section in addition to the
summed output. This would probably put it into 4U and lower its
functional density, but for me the usefulness would increase. BTW
the multiphase waveform animator sounds like a great idea. I also
like the idea of a modular sequencer with a lot of panel real estate
i.e. the SuperMoe. The more parameters controllable, the more
jacks, the more knobs, the greater number of permutations and
combinations. Why two of everything? If it sounds good in mono it
almost always sounds better in stereo and that means two duplicate
patches (with a slight variation of course.) I'll have to ask
Larry, but maybe thats the Hoosier school of synth design. The idea
is not to maximize the density, but to maximize the number of
variables.
