I am really surprised that the current modular companies have not done updated versions of the 2500 or 2600 modules. Ken did the M5 which is Arp inspired - but nothing from Doepfer, Asys, Plan B or any of the euro-rack crowd. Seems like there are a lot of Buchla-isms, the Plan B oscillator and LPG, the Doepfer RCV, and some EMS stuff from Asys, then the Doepfer filter clones (Wasp, MS-20, Diode, etc.). Have these guys forgotten the 2500 and 2600's? Personally, I am not into the whole Buchla cult, and would be way more excited to see someone do a 2500 inspired oscillator, than anything else. /m On Oct 4, 2006, at 7:46 PM, Bryan Carrigan wrote: > > On Oct 4, 2006, at 1:53 PM, jon schatz wrote: >> >> also, what other oscillators excel at fm madness?
