They bought a modular synth in the first place to escape the limits of pre-wired synths. >>2. a professional will have other synths and will not hold up their creative ouput just because their modular is "crippled."<< Then it doesn't sound like they really needed the modular in the first place. >>If it's their first synth of any sort, then they chose poorly if the delay bites into a deadline.<< Maybe. But they might not know there will be a delay since they were given a much different date. >>So when you bought your mixerless MOTM system, did you stop creating music until you installed a few mixer modules? I imagine not.<< No. I already owned a Doepfer among other things. Nor was I working on a commercial project. This is not about ME. I'm pointing out a senario that many people aren't considering. To some, excessively delayed gear puts a monkeywrench in their work. There's no need to argue about it. It's just the way it is. -Elhardt
