Subject: Why I posted :)

(originally sent to Paul B but reposted with the hope of reigniting here)

I’ve avoided MF so that I don’t fall into a forum black hole. I have friends who spend (in their words) more time there than using their modular. So, I just never went. This is why I miss the MOTM list–it was focused and didn’t take me out on spiralling tangents of shopping and comparison. Anyway, I looked at your site and saw the phrase:

"Someone somewhere referred to these things as a spiritual ham radio" 

Amen. Only now do I start to feel this (age 48…) Finally it feels like the sound comes from me, not the gear which feels like opening a new door.

I’ve gone in and out of modular systems 2x in the last 20 years. Built a MOTM bought a Euro. Sold most of MOTM all of Euro. Purchased my previously sold MOTM back. Put it away for a few years. Worked too much. Got sick. Looked around and realised I had ∗way too much gear∗ and have been selling 75% over the last year and a half. In the photo below you can see my recently revived MOTM (well about 3/4 of it I still need a proper case) and the Jupiter that will be sold this afternoon. 

Thanks for pinging back. Its nice to see the spirit of the list lives on. 

Greetings from Berlin,

Aaron

While there's a fleeting sunburst, I'd like to mention - this Free State FX dude rocks. Makes me want to move to MU in a big way.
