I do hope that you didn't mean that your total budget for a system with "a bit of polyphony" is about $1000. If that is what you mean, you might as well stop now. Modulars do a number of things well, but polyphony isn't one of them.

Subject: [motm] seeking advice for how to start a motm system

hi folks. i am new here to this forum and am just learning about the
motm system.

i was wondering if i could get some opinions on how to start building
a modular?

ultimately i would like build from kits an instrument that has lots
of flexibility and a bit of polyphony. but with a limited budget
(maybe about a $1000) maybe the best way to start is by building
something like a filter bank to process external signal and then add
oscillators, envelope generators, etc...

does this seem like a good way to go?

what are the first must have modules?

any advice would be much appreciated.

thanks-
patch
