Sadly, my planner is not fictional. :)

Including case I'm about 9,000 USD in with only 4 rows. Still, I couldn't be happier.

I think the thing as mentioned is, YMMV. Its not about lack of knowledge so much as the sound you're looking for. I have several complex oscillators because I love the sound of analog FM, wavefolding, etc. This was something I was never able to satisfactorily accomplish this with combining simpler oscillators and modules until I bought things like the DPO and Cyclebox mk2.

So while basic are great to fill in, you can't deny the usability of things like Make Noise Maths and Toppobrillo's Sport Modulator. Besides, there's plenty of Doepfer modules that are also multifunctional and complex. I couldn't live without my a-149 and a-199.
