Wow, just read about this this morning. Sounds like it will be amazing. Some really interesting developments in the modular world atm. Good times for creative sound design - bad for the bank balance!

I wanna hear this thing in action!!

While I've never even considered owning a full 200e, I wanted a 259e from the moment I first read about it (I love the marriage of analogue and digital more than either of them on their own). for a while, I was seriously considering just buying one and then figuring out how to power and use it with my eurorack system once I had it. fortunately (for me anyway) it was discontinued. the m30 looks to be a very fine substitute and I think I'm going to pass on an AFG and get this instead...

As a 259e owner, and based on what I know currently know of the M30, my 
opinion is that they are nothing alike beyond they fact that they 
implement "analog" features via digital methods.

I think it would be a mistake to think of the M30 as a substitute for 
the 259e.  The M30 is its own beast and deserves to be thought of a 
something unique to Plan-B.  Don't get me wrong.  I love my 259e 
modules and I love my M15s.  And, I will place a wager stating that: If 
Peter is going to put his stamp on the M30, it is going to be much more 
than a substitute, it is going to be the "shizz-nite!" as Master Shake 
would say.

And just for the record: the 259e is definitely the "shizz-nite" as 
well.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply that either one would be a substitute for the other in the general sense and what I should have written was 'the m30 looks to be a very fine substitute for my needs' which are, as you've so succinctly written, '"analog" features via digital methods'. I'd still love a 259e, but am not going to get one, and it looks as if the m30 will assuage that need quite nicely...
