If I weren't on some synth mailing lists I won't know Modcan existed.  It is 
the least visible modular synth.  As fas as I know, it's never once shown up 
or been mentioned in any magazine.

knobs. I hear they sound good, however.<<

I came within a hair of going the Modcan route.  MOTM didn't have many 
modules at the time, but Modcan had a complete line.  I wasn't thrilled about 
banana plugs.  But the straw that finally broke the camel's back as it were 
was they group their 3x1 mixer on the same module that had a couple of lag 
processors.  The cost to get enough mixers, especially at the small size 3 
inputs, was going to cost so much that I finally gave up.  It's really bad 
planning to put a function that a person needs a lot of on the same module 
with one that a person only needs one of.  Later on MOTM was coming out with 
more modules, so Modcan's loss was MOTM's gain.
