john,
i started with a "bs1" and a second frame 1/2 filled with c.v. modules - 
seq., theremin controllers, etc. knowing it would be nearly a year before i 
could approach a "round 2" purchase. second year, i got a third frame 1/2 
filled with audio modules. spent the intervening time filling those ( and 
getting other modules from other manufacturers ). just got 4th frame before 
christmas and i already know what i want to finish it off with. currently 
looking way into the future ( late this year / early next year ) towards #5 !
enjoy !
best,
dave

LOL! Perhaps they should stick a warning on each module, a la 
cigarettes: "buying Doepfer modules is addictive and may harm your 
bank balance"

I too have also just succumbed to the 4th G6, which with the 155 and 
the few other modules that came with it, is damn near half full 
already. I did a lot of soul searching before I did, not least 
because of the extra space it would take up - I've now made up a 
second 'rack' (a hacked-up Homebase shelf unit), so unfortunately 
there is now ample space for a 5th, and then a 6th... Before I bought 
it, in an idle moment I added up the width of all the modules I 
didn't have, and was aghast to discover it was *another* 4 G6's over 
and above the 3 I then had. Erk.

Such fun.

If you'll please permit me to expand on that slightly.  There should 
have been a warning label on my FIRST synthesizer I bought years ago 
that read: "Warning: Making the decision to become a synthesist is 
addictive and may harm your bank balance!"   :)

Goodness knows I've had this gear buying problem long before now.  
I'm still trying to figure out where to put this thing when it gets 
here.

I directly blame Bob Moog for this! 

Kindest regards,
John
