MOTM

Thanks alot. Nice site you´ve done, very informative with lots of
good thoughts.
Great thing the internet, when I half a year ago started considering
going real modular - after several years with loads of soft synths -
I thought that Doepfer where the only supplier. Luckily I made a
google search for "modular synthesizer" and ended up with the first
MOTM-modules and so far I havent been dissapointed. A lot of soft
synth programming (especially Reaktor) had grown a wish for knobs,
and a midi controller didn´t do it so now I´m beginning to twiddle
real knobs and its great. And if you go for hardware you should go
for top quality not quantity. In another studio Í´m working in we
bougth a George Massenburg mic preamp last year. Thats 1 - one -
channel strip with a pricetag of a car! And its worth every penny!
Doepfer (I have a "Regelwerk" and its much fun an a good tool for a
lot of things) is probably good for some but I´d rather have fewer
modules with higher quality. And not that software is dead neither,
you should hear an analog drone modulated through a good (software)
vocoder. You can really hear that the "base" sound is thick.

Sorry about all the words they just came out.

greetings form Denmark
