OK this may be starting a rather pointless discussion,
but who cares how Doepfer modules look They work.
Some companies may have cooler knobs and creative names
for their modules like Livewire, but the Doepfer stuff
is affordable, does what it is supposed to do and has
the biggest selection of products in the EuroRack format.
And what's so "old fashioned" and great about a modular
being black and white Lots of great classic modulars
used other colors in the panel designs. I don't know
I don't want to offend any one but owning a small
modular set up made up of mostly Doepfer modules
has afforded me a wonderful sonic pallet to work
from for my music. Just some thoughts on the matter....
