Which one? For the sake of theoretical questions …let’s assume you could have any synth…not just what you already own.

    i’m not entirely sure about standalone synths, but a small DIY portable modular rig is just about right, i think. it’s just “one” synth, but i can repatch and reprogram depending on what i’m trying to get out of it

      Modular feels like cheating but I get it. Having the custom setup tailors it to what you need.

        that’s fair. it’s also easier for me to repair and modify my synth if i’m the one building it, which, chipocalypse-scale disruptions aside, makes the whole thing a little more future proof. and if this is the only synth i get, then i’d need to be able to repair it.

        my rule for my own rack is that i have to solder at least part of every single module (and now that i’m set up for surface mount work, i’ll be able to build even more :3:3:3), and i’d think this would be the same
