Dave,
This group is about Brice Hornback's products made under the
Synthmodules.com name. The only current module is the PSIM-1, which has
already reached the production stage. Several PSIM-1s are now "in the wild,"
and their owners (including me) are crazy about them.

There are 2 mailing lists you may want to check out:

For analog synthesis -- not just modulars -- a popular group is Analogue
Heaven (AH). To subscribe, go here:
http://machines.hyperreal.org/Analogue-Heaven/

If you are into synth DIY (do it yourself) projects, the Synth-DIY list has
less traffic than AH and has a higher signal:noise ratio. Subscribe here:
http://www.euronet.nl/~rja/Emusic/Synth-diy/

Also, there is The Gas Station (GAS = Gear Acquisition Syndrome ;-). Things
are much quieter there. It's a discussion board, not a mailing list. You
must join (free) to post:
http://www.the-gas-station.com
There are various "pumps," including a Modular Synthesis pump. I suppose the
analogy (no pun int'd!) was that you go the the Gas Station and hang out
near one of the pumps to chat with like-minded folks. Whatever.

Finally, there are groups for specific brands of modular synth, such as a
Yahoo Group for Synthesizers.com gear -- although people digress into
discussions of other synths, since few folks have just one brand of gear.

Have fun!
