Favourite Modular Synth (was The Sound Creature Project)

Favourite Modular Synth has to be Roland System 100M. Why?

Has very flexible design, lots of inputs and outputs. Each module (VCO, VCF,
VCA, ENV) is completely self contained (by definition I guess...) and has
two of each component in each module (ie the VCO module has two separate
VCo's). (VCO=Voltage Controlled Oscillator, VCF=Filter, VCA=Amplifier),
ENV=Envelope Generator).

The synth modules all have very clean sound (ie excellent Signal/Noise
ratio) and oscillators have very good tuning once warmed up. Extra moduels
included Sequencer and Good quality Mixer, plus 4CV keyboard controller.

Most of the modules have three CV (Control Voltage) inputs and the audio
modules (VCF, VCA) have three channels for audio input, so control and audio
can come from several places at the same time. The mixer module has two
separate mixers, with each mixer is capable of mixing audio or control
voltages.

Its compact size, at least relative to its big brother the System 700, is
nice as well, 3.5 jacks are a bit handier than 6.5 mm jacks.
10 modules fit in a space around 1/2 a metre square.

And I love the sound.

Lance

Yes, please keep us up to date.

P.S. Tomita once said in an interview that we should "continue to try out
and play with modular synths and sounds". (At least, he said something
very close to that).

I would really like to know what everyone's favorite modular synth is,
and why.

The list has not exactly been producing 300 messages a day, but I
_know_ that you wonderful people are out there!

PING!
