The whole point of a modular is that it is the ultimate in flexibility. Even a 
simple standard setup of a vco, vcf, vca, adsr, lfo for example because the 
setting and interconnection possibilities can yield such a diverse range of 
sounds. 


It all comes down to you and what sounds and music you like to explore. Every 
time I turn on my system it is a voyage of discovery. I'd be quite pleased if 
someone wanted to copy my module selection - I'd see it as an acknowledgement 
that I, at least in their eyes, had something good or know something worth 
knowing. 


Also how many of us have bought modules and ended selling them because they 
don't add much to your sound or workflow? Even if you do a lot of hard thinking 
about your system, as I have, you can get it wrong and then you have the fun of 
choosing some more (and keeping Dieter happy).

I think that you should be proud to be an inspiration to a newbee. It is just a 
shame that your dealer is not more informed.Well because of you now that dealer 
will be a little bit more helpful to others.

So I think most of you know how daunting and confusing it is to educate yourself 
about the modular world, where to start, what to buy and hoping that the money 
you just spent is all going to be worth it.

At least I know in my case, it was probably the most brain-racking 2 months of 
my life!..but phew was it worth it!!

My importer/local dealer, who knows nothing about modular stuff (this was a 1st 
time order for him) decides that this might be a cool thing for him too, fair 
enough..But he orders the EXACT same setup I ordered from him(I ordered seperate 
units, not the "basic system" etc) just because he's too lazy t do his own 
research on what he needs or even just wondering what a modular is at all..Im 
into a completely different genre than he is and my setup was very specific to 
my music genre..

I guess im just a little frustrated that the guy who I buy it from is the 1st 
guy to carbon-copy the device I went through all the trouble to sound more 
"unique", its kind of ironic...Obviously we arent exclusive to anything here, 
but I believe the modular world allows someones mind to build and be creative 
with a system that can allow to sound a little different..Wouldnt you say that 
is bad business ethics from the dealer?

He will probably realise its not for him and pun the carbon copy system to the 
next guy..

What do you guys think? I respect anyone doing whatever they wish and I always 
share knowledge with people, (in fact I even helped try to educate/enlighten 
this guy into types of models/what they do/other brands etc)..But I just think 
theres a way of doing things no?

Theres lazy..then theres just plain rude IMO..
