I looked at getting the MOTM once, but they are far too expensive -
their sub-octave divider costs $180 (£112) whilst the Doepfer unit costs $62
(£39) - they do the same function, so I cannot see why you would recommend
such an expensive system to someone on a tight budget. Perhaps someone can
explain why the MOTM divider costs so much. The Doepfer and Analogue Systems
panels are 2mm thick, but on a panel only 130mm tall, this thickness will
not bend of move at all - so surely a 3.5mm panel is simply overspecified.
I have many PAIA products including a couple of 4700 modular systems, I
enjoy making them - but not using them - as they never seem to produce any
good sounds - but I'll keep building the PAIA stuff though...
