yes, doepfer sells only assembled modules and the
basic systems always come complete with a frame and all
modules mounted.

difficult question. i would say that the basic system is
a good starting point.

etc.

you don't need the a191 for controlling your modular with
a midi controller, the a190 offers this functionality too.
but if money is not an issue, i'd recommend the mcv24.
the mcv24 is clearly the better choice, it is more powerful
and a lot easier to handle imho.

best wishes
