MOTM

I don't agree.  Esp Release,decay & attack cv would be absolutely invaluable to the music I (and others) do.  Right now, the only way I have to do this is through my nord or waldorf.  I'd much rather do it in the analogue domain, but alas I cannot.   Sustain CV would in effect give us another (limited) cv VCA (and I could always use another VCA), esp one with a slew to it, as a vc EG would do.

I've needed a vc EG (and some cheap oscillators) so many times hat I've considered selling off my MOTM (!)and buying another brand, as I really cannot afford to build 2 modulars right now.  Obviously my pref is to keep my motm, but right now the only way to expand it's capabilities is to go to something else.

Sure, but if this is the case, then the smaller units should be inexpensive, or this philosophy makes no sense at all.

Perhaps I have this all wrong & the philosophy is that MOTM is not meant to be someone's "only" modular...?
