MOTM

No matter how good a modular simulation can get, it is not going to be real.
At least as far as I'm concerned.

One of the reasons I want to have a MOTM modular is because I actually like
the patch cord, pot, and switch interface.  It is totally concrete and
tactile.  It is conceptually simple and very reliable.  It can't crash and
produce a "blue screen of death".  I want to get away from the computer (I
work all day as a programmer).  So much that I balk even at modules that
have a microprocessor in them.
