The thing is as musicians there is so much available now, that nobody in 
their lifetime should ever find themselves not being able to do something 
sonically because of lack of equipment choices.  I have no problem if someone 
for instance would like to see an MOTM VC-Mixer module, because it would save 
space and money.  But it doesn't do anything that some VCAs and a regular old 
mixer can't do.  Those AH people were acting like technology is holding back 
their music.  Infact there is probably too much technology now, which is why 
people who have zero musical training or knowledge are flooding this earth 
with pointless noise.  The other thing is that they were talking about lack 
of innovation in analog modulars.  The problem is an analog modular today 
still needs the same types of modules it did 30 years ago to function and 
create sounds.  To get really sophisticated, then you have to start going to 
digital, and there is no lack of innovation there.

Take away their drum machines, sequencers and Midi and watch 99% of them fall 
flat on their faces.
