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. And these same people have 22 random guitar pedals lying on the floor.<< But a modular is considered a single instrument and putting in modules that are different sizes, colors, and styles doesn't look good in the same case, nor will many of them even fit. Imagine if 1/3 of a Jupiter-8 looked like a Memorymoog, and another 1/3 looked like an OB-8. Yikes. With rack gear, there is at least a 19" standard, so everything is the same size. And pedals on the floor just like rack gear, are separate individual devices, not a single instrument. That's at least how I see it. -Elhardt
