MOTM

>>>>
I wonder if this is a West Coast vs East Coast thing? Moog vs 
Buchla (or Serge for that matter). MOTM is East coast with each 
module dedicated (more or less) to a single function. So if I 
understand correctly, each MOTM module would have low desity. I 
like it that way, but that's just me.

I find a mix of these philosophies is best for my system. I gravitate 
to east coast for bread and butter stuff: EGs, for instance. I don't 
want to have to patch up something more fine grained everytime I need 
one. I would hate to have to patch up a bunch of integrators every 
time I needed a VCF, either (admittedly an extreme example). My 
sequencer philosophy is so east it's out in the Atlantic somewhere - 
I want EVERYTHING broken out into separate modules. The price I pay 
for this is lots of panel real estate in my system.

However, for esoteric control functions and general weird spicing up 
type things, I like to add more functionally dense stuff - Dark Star, 
Source of Uncertainty type stuff, cascaded S&H banks, Wogglebug, MOTM 
series 500, etc. I have at least 10 or 12 spaces reserved in my final 
system design for these types of modules.

I call this unique design philosophy the "midwest" school of design.

Nyuk nyuk,
