so tell me now, I was gonna plump for a nordlead of some description but as it stands the moneys not gonna be there for a while for it so help me out here.

Now I would like instead to pick up summing voltage controlled instead but I dont see much in the way of options for me that meet the criteria - not horrifically expensive, a decent interface, recently made and capable of a broad range on timbres. Monotimbrality is no big deal and if it can`t be newish, then as reliable as reliable can be. I have no need for a raucous, jabbering uncontrollable monster either as I can cover those bases. Oh, and I`ve had a pulse and bassstation so those are out of the frame too. And preferably *not* the old Roland stuff which are nice, but overcooked nowadays.

So whats it to be gents? Your suggestions please....

The Analogue Solutions sounds 50s SCI FIand my 404 sounds trashy sort of like the bastard child of a 101+303 hey 101+303= 404 You should get that.

Hey Maarten my clock shouldn't freak me out anymore I've got the bastard son of a 101+a 303.

damnit damnit sonofabitch!

to make a useful MOTM SYNTH, i'd need:

2 or 3 Oscillators

VCA/Ringmod

Noise Generator/Sample & Hold

2 to 4 Envelope Generators

2 or 3 filters

2 or 3 LFOs

Lag Processor (for portamento)

1 or 2 mult panels

grrrrrrrr... modules = BIG. the 2 LFOs, 2 Envelopes, Lag Processor & VCA/Ringmod would take up one row in my rack (which has 2 rows) then as i have 3 filters already, only room left for two OSCs. hmm. no room for upcoming super VCAs, Preamps, Phasers, Moog/Roland filters, etc etc etc..

so fuck you for suggesting it brain!

this MOTM rack will remain OSC free. hmm.. top row: 2x 420 filter, 440 filter, & 2 spaces kept free for now. bottom row: VCA/Ringmod, LFO, EG, LFO, EG, & 1 space kept free. all modules but EGs (1u) are 2u wide by the way. well this makes more sense in the future i'll probably make a 20-rack space MOTM monosynth with more modules that i'm comfortable with

not that anyone cares or anything.

It would be interesting to get some kind of idea as to how big the worlds combined Modular synth panels would be if all were brought together.
My guess is no bigger than a tennis court.
Mixers both Analogue and digital would probably consume several football pitches.
Sound Cards probably the size of the Isle of White.
Musical talent no more than a Squash court.

not to argue, or detract, ison. but:

in just over 2 years, over 1600 MOTM modules have shipped. my guess is that MOTM will outsell all other modulars. especially with some of the customers buying two of EVERYTHING, automatically. these guys have lots of modules.

Last I heard, Phil was still developing the Novamod 3 kits, but I'm sure if you nagged him hard enough, he's do a Novamod 2.

R-tek, check out the mod before you scoff. It's WWWAAAAAAYYYYYY more than just an input. My buddy has one that he got the kit from the lab, and did the work on himself, and the thing is just SICK, dude. Completely ill, not right at all. Stuff that would make His Highness R.D. James drool and shiver. Your call.

Oh,
My Doepfer has two of every thing.
Well almost.
30U and counting.
Although Analogue Systems and Analogue Solutions are beginning to take ahold.
If i lived Stateside i would have other choices such as Modcan,MOTM,Synthesiser.Com
But import duties prevent me from taking these alternatives seriously.
800 modules a year at reasonable prices is a worryingly small ammount of income.
Makes me wonder why anybody would bother.
Thankfully they do however.
