I would go for a second VCO bfore getting the sampler, as that would be
useful for a lot of traditional synth sounds, and I'd also consider getting
an A-115 Audio Divider for the basslines - only problem is that with a
sequencer in a G6 frame most of the other modules are quite essential.
Perhaps the multimode filter could be sacrificed, which would make room for
an 8HP module and a 4HP module, but I kind of like the 12db/octave response
of the multimode filter. Depending on your needs, the noise/random voltages
module may not be all that essential, but it's still also very nice to have.
Or you might want to lose one of the LFO's

4HP modules that may be interesting are the ring mod, the voltage inverter
and the dual VCA - or an extra multiple, but I'm not sure you'll need that
one.

The Midi interface could be replaced by an external midi/CV converter, say,
the MCV4 - if you need sync you can record a sequence of 1/4th notes and use
the gate signal for sync, or get an MSY2 if sync is all you need midi for.
The MCV4 is the most versatile of those options, however, as it will allow
you to record other patterns than 4/4 straight notes for more interesting
rhythms in your sequences.

If neither money nor portability are a concern to you, consider getting a
three row system, or possibly even a four row one, as that would leave a lot
more room for other nice modules.

Cheers,

Silas

Thanks Silas,

I wold prefer to stick to two modules for now as I would like to 
keep things simple in the beginning. Thanks a lot for your 
suggestions!
