Sitting here in my little studio, I have equipment from Emagic, Korg, Yamaha, tc, Lexicon, Eventide and Roland. NONE of it looks the 'same', I didn't buy *any* of it because of what it 'looked like'. I bought it because of what it does. Yet, one of the Many Lessons I have learned is the modular synths are somehow *perceived* differently. People, for whatever reasons, are 10X more passionate about the *physical appearance* of their modular. Put a MOTM module in their .com cabinet? NO WAY!!! Buy 1 little Frac Rack cabinet? THIS OFFENDS MY TASTE BUDS! And these same people have 22 random guitar pedals lying on the floor :) OK, I'll get off the soapbox. Got modules to ship! Paul S.
