The point I was trying to make, and one I think that everyone agrees
on, is that new modules should not simply duplicate easily-available
technology. There's not really a point of DX-7 in a module, since
they're easy to find, but there might be something to modular FM
– though modular additive sounds more interesting to me. Or non-modular
even, if Synthtech ever strayed from the MOTM modular and moved into a
traditional synth or module.
