invest time and labour with your modular, to find the 'sweet spots' with the modules you have to create some magical sounds....     :-)
the a137, you already have, needs work and practice, btw...
 
also, you are (maybe) missing a, basic but usefull at times, 'warm' 24db lowpass filter like the A108, or the A105 24 db SSM filter., as you seem to have focused on the weirder designs (diode filter, polyvoks, wasp...)

Here is my modular as of now:

A110 - VCO
A110 - VCO
A145 - LFO1
A146 - LFO2
A138b - Log Mixer
A140 - ADSR
A140 - ADSR
A131 - Exp. VCA
A180 - Multiples
A180 - Multiples
A190 - MIDI Interface
A102 - Diode LPF
A124 - WASP Filter
A137 - Wave Multiplier
Polivoks - Russian LPF/BPF

This is all in a mahogany case that I made, very similar to the
Doepfer suitcase, using the DIY kit.

Here's the deal, I have some more room left, but not a lot. It's
definitely starting to fill up, so I need to be careful about what
else I put in this thing, that it will truly be useful. So far, this
thing sounds pretty good, but I have to be honest. It does not sound
like a $2000 synth, which is about what I've put into it so far, but I
know what these things are capable of, so I have to be missing some
key element to fatten it up. Right off the bat, I'm thinking I need
the A-115 divider/suboscillat or module. But is that it If it helps,
I am making industrial music, so thick, harsh sounds are my goal. Is
the A-115 the key element that will make this thing make people go
"WOW that sounds awesome!" or is there something else I need to add as
well

Also, if it is indeed the A-115 that I'm needing, where would you
"typically" patch that in Do you bring two oscillators into a mixer,
then sub-oscillate the mixed signal Or do you just sub-oscillate one
oscillator, pre-mixer
Thanks!
