modules

2003-04-22 by MOTM Markk

Personal opinion...
I think that all of the modules have their place in "someones system" the beauty of choice here and the "modular" concept is that we can choose and build which ones we really want. The better part of it is that we have a guy like Paul who takes our inputs in future idea's of modules... and sometimes actually makes them... we also have the "flexibility" that if Paul doesn't have it or make it... and has no plans to do so... we have still other options in modules... thus keeping with the true concept of a Modular Synthesizer. try doing that with Roland or any other "big" company...
I probably wont own "every" module that is available... and I will own several of them that are... but that's just my ticket... I just really like it all... I forgot how much fun I had building things of intricate detail... I still have the 101 module in the pana-vise, stuffed with the 100k resistors... haven't even soldered them yet... but I am no hurry... I have no schedule to follow, I just want to finish them all correctly...
just my ramblings...

I agree completely.  There is NOT A SINGLE module in Paul's lineup 
that is 'unimpressive'.  All three LFOs are very nice, each with 
it's own purpose in my rig.

For some reason, I want at least one of every module that Paul 
produces.  That may not be realistic as they approach expensive pre-
builtness, but still I'd like to try to keep up.  It's not only that 
I'm obsseive-compulsive-addicted, it's also that every single module 
is very useful.

I also buy other folks' stuff that I find intriguing, as long as I 
can MOTMize the form factore some how.

Dang, this is an *expensive* hobby!

All hobbies are expensive, in one way or another. MOTM is about par for the course. Look at the
cost of a bass boat, or a ShopSmith, or a new Browning over-and-under, etc.

it's not a hobby, it's an adventure!

Gotta love those Miniwaves and Time Machines :) (with Stooge panels of

I nominate Markk to take over my place as the guy known for the slowest
assembly.
