Right on Thomas!!! These songs are excellent for synths that are not as
capable as the MOTM. Save the power of your MOTM for the more expressive
and experimental stuff.

Especially if you don't have a good feel and understanding for what the
knobs do and how you have the patch set up.

Time to get a better job... Or switch your passion to a lesser modular???
Ha! Or sell plasma. Or give up smoking. Or sell a body part or organ
which is getting a lot of use. Sell the house and live in a cardboard
box--replace cardboard walls with MOTM modules as the grand collection
grows! Or sell your lesser equipment.

My math must be a little off. Where is this great increase in cost???
Moving to larger knobs and using a wider panel. I still don't see the
substantial increase in cost.
Be careful of whom you label. I will buy one. Up to $500. I will buy it
if it comes out as a 2U also at whatever price.
