I've been reading everybody's want lists for new modules. Am I the only one 
who doesn't know what some of this stuff does? Oh well, doesn't matter 
anyway, I still haven't received my first module yet (thirty years old and 
still waiting for Christmas presents!). I know what the basic stuff does 
since I have a couple of normal synths (a Waldorf pulse and a Korg MS 2000), 
but some of these things you guys are talking about seem fairly esoteric. 
Are they really useful beyond specific sounds you want to make or can most 
of them be used for many things?
This brings me my next question: I decided to build a modular so I could 
make
unusual sounds that are impossible on my other synths, so I was wondering if 
anyone has any suggestions. The kinds of things I am interested in are long 
evolving patches that change over time preferably with many control points 
to cause the sound to evolve  once they are started or triggered,I'm not 
really looking to "play"the sound with a keyboard (I don't even own one!). I 
also intend on using external sound sources such as samples, guitar, t.v. or 
whatever noise is going on outside at the time, so I haven't decided if I 
really will need oscillators. Can they be used for other things? I guess 
what I want is an ambient texture generator that has a lot of control 
options.
I hope I didn't ramble too much for anybody and any suggestions would really 
be appreciated!
thanks, Barry
