by any means, but one other difference (a gigantic difference
IMHO) you might have forgotten is the jack panel..
. this opens the door to amazing feedback trix and signal
interconnections one could never realize on a non-banana system..
(without allot of money)..
The only other difference (besides the obvious quality comparison
between the two machines) is the serge modules have a hell of allot
more cv inputs ... nearly everything is CV'able.. where as the doepfer
is lacking in this respect...
This isn't completely true...Granted, to compare basic units
neglecting the pure power of each,<

All this is true. You could in fact list endless differences between the
various modular options. The point I am trying to make is that systems li=
ke
MOTM or Doepfer offer an opportunity to sample the joys of modular
synthesis (without compromise IMO) at a much less critical outlay of cash=

than Serge. If the original poster decides that modulars are not for him,=

apart from the lower initial investment, it will be a lot easier to sell =
on
a $1,000 system than a $3,000 Serge panel.
