i actually don't know if i'd be into working with a modular of that size; i haven't tried. feels like it's for people who appreciate an idle saturday patching up some abstract contraption rather than people who want to make tunes
i like where we're at these days, actually, i really do. i have a moog grandmother: actual analog, 30 modular patch points or so, but it's still a proper monosynth with all the features, usb, its own midi. then a behringer model D as well, i can patch their sub-bits into each other and it gives me massively more options than if the two buggers didn't offer all those patch points
but there's something about having a keyboard as a discrete unit; feel like it keeps one from going off the deep end

i just started with modular, but when i look at deadmouses stuff, he bought the most expensive, cool sounding modules (cwejman) and hes missing on the modulation sources… it took me the last 3 years of just informing myself about modular, before i bought my first module
but i remember wanting to buy a doepfer A-100 system, when i was around 19. im glad i bought an ms2000 instead
modular is great, but walls are heavy
on the other side, mouse makes lotsa money. i would definitely buy modular instead of paying taxes
and i don't make money with my hobby

Big systems are good if:
You make whole tracks in modular, rather than as an instrument to sample single voices into a DAW/sampler. IE your wall of modular contains 6 different "synths", 6 drums sound voices and a couple of sampler. It's amazing how quick you can run out of things, even with thousands of HP, when you're trying to do this.
Another reason is to make a synth with a very wide range of sound palettes (cluster a load of different oscillators, a load of different filters, a load of different VCAs, etc.) so you can wire up something following traditional synth architecture, but have lots of options at each stage.
Some people do it because they want a true polysynth (say, at least four of everything, as opposed to a paraphonic).
Let's be honest, whilst I can see the appeal of small systems for playing live, or noodling sat on the couch, or outside operating off batteries; if we had Deadmau5/Zimmer/Junkie XL's money, most of us would have a chamber lined with half a million dollars' worth of modular as well.

while i deeply appreciate the joy of patching up some idea you've had in the shower, the idea of patching up a whole "chamber" sounds a lot less fun. i'd rather write music. years ago, i chatted with not breathing dave a hell of a lot. he has walls of modular he's built himself; helped me on mine when i was stuck over AIM. had an interesting attitude, sort of j. g. thirlwell, he'd be all "you need to kill someone. tonight" and i'd say why would i want to do that, and he'd tell me to man up and build some real modulars
anyways, even he was sequencing it all through kentons on an MPC1000 and... wait for it... fruity studio
if i had fuck-you money, what i'd actually get is something like a buchla, where it's proper modular but also with patch memory and automation. otherwise, it's just like some kung fu training shit where you repeatedly plunge your fists into buckets of gravel

That made me chuckle, because I really did used to do Kung Fu training where I plunged my fists into bags of gravel (and eventually, ball bearings) and literally only yesterday, I was looking at buying powdered glass 'blasting media' for sand blasting and thinking, "Shiiit that'd be some next level stuff to get used to punching".
Buchla is a weird one for me, I sort of pendulum between really wanting a Music Easel and thinking it'd be insane to spend that much money on one.
What happened to not breathing dave? I really liked him, he was good at encouraging me to get into synth DIY, I wanted to message him about a year back and tell him all the stuff I'd made and it was all thanks for him convincing me to get an X0X BOX. I remember him loving the MPC1000, he was a bit JJOS advocate.

I remember him loving the MPC1000, he was a bit JJOS advocate.
i found his site over summer break in high school in, like, 2002 or something, and after seeing all his crazy shit (his site used to have LOADS more stuff!) i promptly went down to the shop and cracked open a keyboard i'd had since i was little and began trying to bend it.
i was in the habit of staying up all night a bunch, then, and it was 5 or 6am, i had some questions, and he'd put an AIM screen name on his site. and, go figure, he was also a supreme night owl, often he was the only one on to chat at 4am, unless i got into the australian IRC channels
as bad as i am now, i'm sure you can imagine how obnoxious i was when i was 17, but still he put up with me, and acted as a sort of mentor / older brother for years.
then he had kids of his own and more or less dropped off the radar -- quit AIM -- presumably because kids are a lot of work. he still does gigs here and there, afaik, he's probably on facebook, but i don't really facebook. he co-owned a bunch of rental properties with some other lady and he had other hobbies like the cactus rescue squad, so he's not really depending on music i gather
i figure you could probably get him on facebook, and maybe we'll hear from him again in a year or three, because his kids will finally be getting old enough that he can get back to his modulars
