I'm not so sure I wholly agree with that statement. Yes I have a nice big modular with 9 VCO's but I also have a pair of SMS MARS synths (the fore runner of the Spawn, without the sub Osc) and it can produce some very full, rich sounds. This is partly because it has VC control of the waveform allowing for more sophisticated sounds than strait PWM and it has a nice rich filter. True there are limits to what it can produce but with it's patchability it's easily expanded. As with all things it's best if you can try it first.

None of the those synths mentioned have only one osc. The Voyager for instance has 3. Jacpere is correct that you could buy more. A disadvantage to buying something smaller than an entry level modular is you pay a fairly much to get capabilities you can only take partial advantage of. Of course you can fix that by getting more stuff. Not that you can't use it if it's very small, but there's a sort of critical mass where lots of great things happen. I consider that point to be a solid monosynth worth of modules plus a couple things not on a monosynth. Not enough modules and you just miss out on what you can do with a more equipped system or a decent monosynth. Then after a certiain point if you keep getting more and more modules you probably are either addicted and or trying to impress people ;-) Yahoo!
