Hush. What do you expect me to use as an excuse to my wife for starting
a new row. :-) "Damn, my modular is incomplete now without those new
modules, I'll need two more rows. And look honey, I've already got the
second (4 row) wooden case. Did I say two rows? I meant four."

Actually this is just catchup for me. After the first row I got busy
with work (even some nineteen hour days). Then Red Hat bought my company 
and closed the Atlanta office. I got good serverance and lots of
options. 
I'm consulting now so I have more free time (Well, shorts bursts of
frenzy followed by small stretches of free time).

I spent the last year almost going into convulsions listening to you 
guys talk about all the modules I don't have. Every time Paul came 
out with a new module it drove me crazy knowing that even if I found 
time to build it, I wouldn't have much time to play with it.

I think the 440 was the last straw. I've been hearing people rave
about the SSM filters for years. I even emailed JH about offering
circuit boards of his clone. Then it becomes available as a MOTM
module? 

Oh wait. Maybe it was the Jean Michelle Jarre-in-a-box 410. I 
have got to run some of my bizarre guitar patches through that.
That sound has intrigued me for years.

Anyway, I assure you that I desperately want to be back in the
land of impatience waiting for the next MOTM, rather than 
watching the train go by. To echo a thread on synth-diy, is 
it possible we're living in a better time than the wonder 
years of analog synths?
