Well Ethan, you should consider what you want to do musically
with your machine before start assemling modules...my system
consists of both wide range of soundgeneration/processing
modules and cv/gate/trigger generators/modifiers.
I think that a "ittle of all" system could easly render "must have
more of all" symptom, It has for my part, starting of with a small
monosynth setup, then expanding it over a 7 years period. Finally
i,ve got the polyphonic-tactical-all-purpose system i wanted from
the beginning, but couldnt afford from start back in 95.
So if you got money to spend, by as much as you can, to fullfill
your needs at once, otherwise you´ll end up saying "oh i could
really have use for this and that" and this i think slows down the
creative process.

my suggestion is to by or build many mixers/attenuators (both
lin.&exp&vc lin.), multiples, oscillators and vca´s...
Its also important to have a lot of cv/trig/gate
generators/modifiers
I.e. the trigger modif. is a really great litte module, that i use in all
my patches.

good luck!
