My older boy likes to play with the MOTM. He's probably a future
customer.
We've got a Pro-One patched in as a keyboard controller & sequencer,
so he makes techno basslines, and then twiddles with the knobs to his
heart's content. He doesn't really understand the limitations of the
Pro-one sequencer, and he ends up creating a lot of cool sequences in
weird meters as a result!
Modulars are great for kids: kids can learn about sound, physics, and
electronics, in addition to how synthesizers work.
The only caveat is that I wouldn't let a little kid around one if
you've got an open cabinet. I'd bet they could curl their hair if
they poked their hands around the power supply. Almost as important,
they could screw up your modules!
