Welcome to the list Jim. The list has been a little quiet lately, but that
will change. I think the nice summer weather has people doing outside
things.

Boy, it is so hard to exclude any of them. Certainly, that looks like a
great start. Since I seem to remember that you have some other synth gear,
you might want to consider the processing power of the MOTM-410.
When your pocketbook can stand it, I would then buy:
1ea MOTM-800 EG
1ea MOTM-420 or 440 filter.
With the 5 modules you have listed above, these two additions would really
complete (and of course, "complete" is so subjective) the "basic" synth
functions. Some might recommend the 420 since it is a multi-mode filter
(HP, LP, Notch). However, I like the 440 even though it is low pass only
because it is such a wonderful low pass and LP is my favorite filter type.
So, I am biased.
