Hi Tommy DOG,

That's the question. Originally Buchla's Source of uncertainty was a normal
sized
modules, that's why Buchla could cram so much in a space, and remarkably,
without
losing the workability! Now Doepfer modules are all compact, due to the
concept.
This means it's impossible to cram everything into one module. And I have to
correct
you here Tommy DOG, it's going to be at least 3 modules, not two. The
question what
pop's up is then, how many space will there be involved? To react to your
question,
when you buy only one module, how "lame" is your module then. What are you
missing
out on? That's the question I think.
I'm very interested in The source of uncertainty, that's why I have voted
for the
first pool of this future module. When look at the wideness and the number
of modules
am I right to guess that's it's probably going to soup up half of the space
of a row?
That's a lot.
There some modules which soup up lot's of space, like VC mixer, Triple
resonance filter
Analog trigger sequencer, filterbank and some others.
And you have to ask yourself, which module get's the space!
But I quess you have more then enough room to put them.

I agree however, exotic modules let the modular eventually more stand out!

cheers,

Roel

As I have pointed out that when building my Trautonium I bought extra
modules
while waiting for the filter and the ribbon and
it ultimately gave me a lot of extra functionality.

Even though I would WITHOUT question buy both modules I would probably buy
modules to experiment with as Dieter
refines stuff on his end. Extra modules is always a plus with a modular
synthesizer and they will give the maximum
functionality to take the SOU further when you have both.

My 2 cents,

Sorry, my mistake.

I think you misunderstood my comment.

I wasn't suggesting that the SOU be a single module.  My suggestion was that instad of realizing half of the functions with 
existing modules that approximate the functions, I would want to see a series of dedicated modules that are closer to Don 
Buchla's design, in the same wy the Mixtur-Trautonium project was done.

My reasoning behind my opinion was based on the fact that my Doepfer system is based on the Trautonium and I added 
modules while waiting for the "actual" new modules to be released.  This has given me, not only the Trautonium I was 
seeking BUT added extra functionality from the additional modules.
