Ok, I'll bite...

The recent announcement of Volta has made me question whether it makes
sense to devote much of the dwindling space in my cabinets to control
modules -- sequencers, utility CV/logic modules, and yes, the MOTM-730
-- or to leave that kind of work to the computer, and devote space
(and of course dollars) to voices/modulators/effects.

Much as I'd love to have whole cabinet full of blinkenlight modules,
the idea of computer-controlled logic driving analog sound generation
has a lot of appeal. I already have the computer, Logic, Live, Max,
and a MOTM-650, so the additional investment would be one second-hand
MOTU converter.

I probably have a 730 in my future, but this is where my thoughts are
this week, anyway.
