Hi TD,

No, I didn't misunderstood you. I was seriously asking would it be a great
loss if one would buy only one module, instead of meaby three I want to
know what I miss out on! I have no experience with the SOU, so I like to
know from people who "know it by heart".
As I said, not everyone has so much space left, so one needs to be very
thoughtfull about which modules to purchase. From what I've read I am very
interested in the module. But that was only with one module in mind. Costs
for me which are bearable. Costs for 3 modules would probably sneak up to
the costs of the morphing filter!
So again, what do I miss, when I only buy the first
Believe me I was interested in the vocoder (I have none), but seeing it
needed so many modules and the prices it cost, I had to let that go. Beside
the enormous amount of space it will take.

I think you misunderstood my comment.

I wasn't suggesting that the SOU be a single module. My suggestion was that
instad of realizing half of the functions with
existing modules that approximate the functions, I would want to see a
series
of dedicated modules that are closer to Don
Buchla's design, in the same wy the Mixtur-Trautonium project was done.

My reasoning behind my opinion was based on the fact that my Doepfer system
is
based on the Trautonium and I added
modules while waiting for the "actual" new modules to be released. This has
given me, not only the Trautonium I was
seeking BUT added extra functionality from the additional modules.
