Because I'm insane, I've been thinking about expanding my modular setup, which now consists of a Doepfer system and a hodgepodge of Blacet and Paia modules. Not that price is in any way near the primary consideration, but just for basic comparison I grabbed the prices of a basic VCO from each major system currently available (that I know of): 1/8": Paia (unassembled, dual VCO) $108 Doepfer: $129 ($252 high end with CEM) Analogue Systems $184 Blacet (assembled) $250 1/4" or bananna: Synthesizers.com $170 MOTM (assembled) $309 to $429 Modcam $330 Oakley $349 Specialty: Metasonix $329 Wiard - special order only Buchla $1400 The 1/8" stuff is all about the same price -- Blacet is a little higher, probably due to the more complex design and functionality (and smaller volume), I'd guess. The synthesizers.com seems like a real bargain for the 1/4" stuff. (I'm not wild about the name -- again, not a huge consideration, but everything else being equal I'd rather not have ".com" on my modular...) Are there any others I'm missing? _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
