hello,
exactly what i'm saying is, that i admit the superior
parts quality of the buchla modules, but these more
expensive parts and R&D just doesn't justify the HUGE
difference in price! but, i, too, like the buchla
modular and i, too, think that it looks and sounds
fantastic.but to me it doesn't sound better than my
a100.
and another thing: i am sure that there is no buchla
modular owner that has a really big buchla
modular(because of the prices, of course). so, the
bottom line is that no buchla modular owner can have
the huge creative possibilities that me and
vogelscheiss have, because we have huge and very
capable modulars. if we owned buchla modulars, we'd
only have 20-30 modules...
so, in the end, which modular gives you the most crazy
and complex possibilities
bakis.
