appreciate the feedback so far. just a note any order i make takes 2 months to arrive, returns 6 months if its even possible and I cant demo any module prior to purchase. so i have to rely on reviews and youtube videos. So i deeply appreciate the feedback.
here is an updated. The wmd mixer helps with lots of functions. I checked everything suggested and I put in then rack the modules i liked AND could actually acquire. Lots of the modules are "out of stock" or "pre-order" which makes it difficult for me to ever get.
a real bummer as i liked the xoac and EG stuff a lot.
I am definitely looking for the "boring" modules at this stage, so appreciate the ideas. (the roland 531 is not in the rack because i think i could sell that with the wmd , just repetitive.
