Sitting here in my little studio, I have equipment from Emagic, Korg, Yamaha,
tc, Lexicon, Eventide and Roland. NONE of it looks the 'same', I didn't buy
∗any∗ of it because of what it 'looked like'. I bought it because of what it
does.
Yet, one of the Many Lessons I have learned is the modular synths are somehow
∗perceived∗ differently. People, for whatever reasons, are 10X more passionate
about the ∗physical appearance∗ of their modular. Put a MOTM module in their
.com cabinet? NO WAY!!! Buy 1 little Frac Rack cabinet? THIS OFFENDS MY TASTE
BUDS!
And these same people have 22 random guitar pedals lying on the floor :)
OK, I'll get off the soapbox. Got modules to ship!
