Hi Michael,
I'm in exactly the same boat! try taking a look at Analogue Solutions as well as Doepfer and Analogue Systems they have some set ups that may be interesting to you and all these makers modules are interchangable within the same rack if you prefere one thing over another.

Subject: 1 modular synth help for newbie
Hello, sorry if you've read this in other groups. I've been
interested in buying a modular synth for years now
and I'm finally starting to look into purchasing one. I've looked at
numerous dealers and found doepfer along the way. I know
very little about modular synths (can't wait to learn!) so please
bear with me. I've always loved the sounds produced my the old EMS
Synthi and VCS synths so I'm kind of looking to put together a
similar "sounding" synth. Another attraction of the EMS synths
(synthi a) is their size...I'd like to be able keep the size down as
small as possible, in a case I could carry around relatively easily.
I have no real interest in the typical "techno" or beat oriented
sounds, I'm looking for noises (not really the typical analog
blurbling, more harsh type sounds like the EMS), sound effects,
drones, etc... Is it possible to put together a collection of doepfer
modules into a system that will serve my interests I'm assuming that
it is possible, I'm just not sure how to go about it. I've been
looking at the basic system (w/out midi) yet I'm not sure if this
will be the solution for me. I have no interest in a keyboard
controller or midi, I really want something like the synthi a or VCS
3 (I've looked at the joystick module and was hoping that it might be
a comparable solution to the VCS3 joystick). Is there a way to build
the system that I'm looking for Are there any other companies that
might be more suitable in helping me find what I'm looking for(Analog
Systems were very helpful with ideas utilizing their modules...I'm
just looking at my options right now). And finally, I'd like to keep
proce below $2000-2500 Thanks
for any guidance you can give me.
