MOTM

Are you thinking of polyphony or multitimbrality?  

If you want polyphony, you're putting money (and DIY time) into multiple copies of the same filter when the timbral range of your modular would be better expanded into different sonic territory.  

To each his/her own, of course, though in my experience, when you layer voices that will be heard as the same instrument, many of the subtleties that modular synthesis can impart will be lost.  In situations like this a P08 or Omega or (etc.) may be better suited to your purposes.

            i am well aware that getting into modulars will not be a cheap

addiction.  i am saying that my initial investment is going to be

around $1000 and i am asking the community what might be the best way

to get started.  i am not able to drop $4000 right now but over time i

hope build my own wall of modules that i have been drooling over in

picture books for years.  



as for polyphony.  i would be happy to get three voices going at the

same time.  i am not trying to get huge chords out of the thing.
