you really think doepfer modules LOOK good I think they all look like prototypes, industrial and not really finished, and those grey knobs.... yuk

about as pretty as behringer I would say, call me old fashioned but I think there are two nice colours for a modular, black and white

doepfer get many marks from me for sound and function and price, but none at all for looks!

I dont like it at all---standalone = messy messy messy
I think Doepfer looks and a Eurorack format will be much better
