When I say “whacky modules” I guess I mean more exotic modules. You can replicate modules like MakeNoise Maths with a bunch of Doepfer modules, as you can with many “east coast” multi-modules, but I have a granular/wave player (the qu-bit Nebulae) that would be not replicated with Doepfer modules as fart as I know (You can load your own Pure Data files in it for instance). I also have a ADDAC101 Wave player that can’t be match by the Doepfer Sample player module plus other Doepfer modules. My company (Synthwerks) makes a few modules that there are no Doepfer equivalents or can be made by combining modules (that is why we make them). This is NOT a diss or slight to Doepfer in ANY way. Just a different philosophy by makers. Doepfer will probably never make an Orthogonal Devices ER-301 Sound Computer or DSP effects units either. That is what is great about the Eurorack marketplace, there are people making ALL kinds of stuff out there (some whose purpose and uses baffle me). Companies like Doepfer and Analogue Systems, that have a wide catalog, will always find a way into people’s rigs.

I built myself a few of the EuroSerge modules from Random Source and Elby because I have a thing for the crazy functionality Serge has but don't get me wrong Doepfer stuff is still the core of my system. And will always be I think :D
