Well, Suzanne Ciani used to have one and others too
considering the photo's which I came across.

Don't be mistaken, these 20-30 modules are in fact
much modules when you look at the offerings per module!!!
Just look at one module as see how many modules that
are in one! And since Doepfer is replicating the
Buchla 259, we now can see how much the Source of uncertainty
will be in Doepfer format, 4 or 5?

>and complex possibilities?

Buchla still can do things that the A-100 can't, but 
the A-100 can do a lot of other stuff Buchla can't.
Still I think it's looks smashing and if I had the
money I buy one today!
But I have to setle for my A-100, which isn't bad
either, it's gives me hours of analog madness!
