Jon, thanks for your detailed explanation! You confirm my "fear" that it is very hard (or at least limiting) to get a "completely storable modular system" even with the 200e! We know that well known people like Richard Lainhart (and probably Alessandro Cortini) work live with a 2

Chris, that is exactly what I thought would the different Buchla users do: - using "only" the patch storage function, i. e. knob settings IF they do not have a 210e (there is no chance obviously to save patch cords...) - using the 210e for "some" but not all routings AND for audi

Richard, how do you solve the "5 destinations limit" of ONE 210e. I cannot believe that you "only" use 5 variable cv destinations for example... Do you have mostly "fixed" routings (cv and audio) and use only a few for "variable" routings with the 210e? Second question is/was: ho
