My own tastes range from "classical" (or at least Carlos/Tomita type stuff)
to something more bizarre ( "Forbidden Planet" soundtrack).

I have a monopoly; to imitate it with MOTM components (assuming you have the
MIDI-2-CV converter, etc) would require 4 VCOs, 2 LFOs, VCA, 2 EGs, the
Noise/SH module, and the OTA filter. I guess you can fake the S&H in for the
arpeggiator. Naturally you end up with a synth that's a lot more flexible
than a Mono/poly, having a ring modulator, potential velocity sensitivity,
more flexibly VCO sync options, and many patch points.

I guess I have almost enough modules to do that. Don't forget, the Mono/Poly
was really not polyphonic-with only one filter & VCA, and an EG for each...
the 'Poly' part was really a gimic and hardly useful, in my opinion.

What type of listening do you all like and hope to emulate
with your modulars?
Is anybody working on a polyphonic MOTM yet (four voice or
so?) like a Korg Monopoly type polyphony? If so, how complicated is it in
actuality? Thanks
for your help
