Subject: [motm] Top Fifteen Reasons to own a Real Analog Modular


Here are my top fifteen reasons to own a real analog modular:

15. Personalized service straight from the designer/integrator.
14. Chaos synthesis means you really patched it that way, not a software
bug.
13. The instrument is the interface - no mapping to virtual control
surfaces, no function/control remapping to get lost in, no limitations based
upon an input device designed for single function at a time control, no tiny
print and crammed pseudo controls on limited size/resolution LCDs/CRTs.
12. Real meaty sound without quantization or aliasing artifacts.
11. Design quirks or inadequacies and component limitations or aging really
can be features.
10. True plug and play.
9. Boot time measured in microseconds.
8. No software crashes.
7. No reboot necessary.
6. No OS upgrades.
5. No upgrade fees for module updates to support new OSes.
4. No obsolete modules because they weren't updated to support new OSes.
3. Simple cross platform conversion tool:

2. Simple base platform made from easy to find materials:

1. Simple, common installation tool:
