Tough choices. Depends on the type of sounds you are looking for. You WILL
want them all at some point. :) The 490 is one sweet filter (and only 1U!)
while the 420 gives many unique textures. I think, though, that the 410 is
a must have. It's basically three individually tuned bandpass filters swept
by two built-in LFOs and offers a lot of functionality for the space used.
It can also provide some stereo effects. (The 480 promises to be yet
another awesome filter, especially for more traditional instrument
emulations, but it's not available yet.)
The 120 was my first module and is included in nearly every patch I make.
It's great for experimenting and can add "width" or "movement" to many
sounds.
Cheers, and welcome to MOTMdom,
George
PS: better start building a bigger cabinet!
