The quality, breadth, and price of Doepfer modules is tough to beat and sets a high standard for the many other makers in the industry now.

The system isn't entirely Doepfer, but of the 17 modules, 6 are Doepfer.  Mutable Instruments is another favorite of mine.  Here's a link to my modular planner:

> Today I was thinking about how many Doepfer modules have been created (nearly 200) and the fact they've been created over roughly 20 years now.  Further, I was thinking how interesting it would be to see a timeline chart devoted to Doepfer A-100 modules.  Has someone already created this?  I did a web search and looked through the files section in this group, but didn't see anything.  I'm thinking x-axis is release date and y-axis is the number of newly introduced modules released.  Color coding based on the category of module (A-100X, A-110X, etc.) would be interesting to include as well.
