IMHO we are extremely fortunate in our choices in modular synthesizers.
We have today Serge, Wiard, Blacet, Synthesizers.com, CMS, MOTM or
Modcan to choose from, and that only includes North American
manufacturers.
Let's remember that none of these folks are getting rich from this, most
don't even earn a living from it. Special requests such as individually
mounted Serge panels will require hundreds of hours of re-packaging
effort. If you look behind a Serge panel you will realize that
repackaging is not as simple a request as it sounds. I've seen other
special requests to other manufacturers, and I believe that while
sometimes they are often valid it would be impossible for these
companies to respond to every request.
I would certainly prefer to have individually mounted Serge modules.
But would I prefer that if it added a 10-20% premium to every module?
Probably not.
Being a capitalistic/consumer based society you have your choice: vote
with you pocketbook. If you must have individual modules with banana
jack interfaces then buy Modcan. If you must have certain special or
esoteric Serge modules, then you have to judge the tradeoffs.
Another option is to modify existing modules from one format to another
manufacturer or DIY boards available from Oakley, EFM, etc. If you ever
get into this, you'll realize just why the modular companies don't like
doing special requests -- it is not time or cost effective for them to
do so.
