MOTM

I too say go for it.  MOTM is EASY!  You can build it as your budget,
ability/proficiency and time allow.  The big advantage to getting a MOTM system
going now is the number of modules is limited.  I say this is an advantage
because you learn the modules one at a time.  The more you know any synth, the
easier and more fun it is to use.

I wouldn't be afraid of techie talk.  Any of the guys making those posts would
gladly explain it in terms you can understand if you asked.  Another nice part
of this system is if you want something, ask for it.  There are 3 940 modules in
my system, this came along because I told Paul I thought it was necessary.  He
agreed and made a module.  The system is very open to the needs of the user.

I personally can forsee a day when the MOTM table has turned.  Once enough
modules are available to ship a fully functional system, I would not be surprise
if demand is greater than supply.  No problem for those of us who have been
building along the way!  I already have the early modules.  I have 19 modules
right now.  It is quickly going to become my main synth.

The only tools that I use cost about $200:

Weller soldering iron (a must)
$15 Digital volt meter
resistor wiz wheel
2 nut drivers
wire cutters
needle nose pliers
PCB vise (panavise)

I think it is the only way to go.
