Re: Into the World of Modular- Basic Questions

Even with a smaller system, you will DEFINITELY need at least one multiple.

As far as Dotcom vs other systems, you need to look at how much space
you have - be aware that these things can and usually do grow and
grow.  Having put together a system using modules from various
different manufacturers, my opinion is that the manufacturers that
have got it right w/r/t size vs functionality are Blacet, Modcan,
Serge and Wiard.  Doepfer (I have a selection of Doepfer modules) seem
to me to be too tightly packed, dotcom is at the other extreme, I
personally think they are way oversized.  Obviously if you have a
reasonably-sized room, this isn't likely to be a problem, if you have
a small space, it may be.
