thanks for this thread pete,

i'm in exactly the same boat. i want to start building an a100, but
i'm new to modular synthesis and as there are so many modules to
choose from, so it doesn't seem particular easy for beginners such as
myself. apologies for hijacking this thread, but
any advice for us newbies would be gratefully apreciated.

ideally i would like to have a system, which incorporates both
external sound processing capabilities and old school raymond scott
style keyboard sounds. :) that trautonium filter sure looks
interesting. what are the must have killer modules


thanks in advance
dave
