Kojak said:Well you were complaining about the ASR being too big, a module-by-module modular synthesizer is going to be enormous. If you're really set on a modular, I'd suggest going with a pre-built rack modular synth like the analogue solutions Red Square, the SMS Planet 7 or the Vermona Perfourmer (even though it's semimodular, but it does 4 voices).
Personally I'd suggest against a modular, their ease in modulation routing and flexibility comes at a cost, first off, no patch storage, secondly they make it a bit painful to crank out a sound. Third, they tend to be monophonic. I think you should just research and see what fits you best. My andromeda makes modulation patching fairly painless with a MOD button on each group as well as the large screen and rarely used soft-knobs. Other synths to look at would be the Monomachine, Poly-evolver, Prophet 08, and Nord G-2. Just do some research think about how you use your synthesizers, and think about which one would suit you best. I would think more in terms of functionality and ease of use moreso than sound simply because I don't think there's that great of a difference in sound between most a lot of these synths, any one will most likely give you the ability to get the sound you want.
modular is still very appealing to me... i dont care so much about the presets or time it takes... i could also have another keyboard but eventually...i would not mind spending an hour or more on every sound i make.. the style of music i make permits it for the most part...
