For my next (hypothetical;) row of Eurorack, intended for sound design experimentation, I’m wondering: go dedicated (yet pricey) or compile it with the many cheap, seriously underpriced, second hand, out of season modules that are often find online.
My first row was super dedicated, lean and mean, pricey but focused. Which worked out perfect. But I’m seriously wondering if that’s the route for the second row. There’s so many wonderfully expensive modules. But if you’re open to them, there are so many ones that are almost given away for free because they’re a bit big and miss that one function that you’d want it to have.
Apart from my specific case, curious how people think about this!
(In short f.e.: buy €500 Mimeophons and DPO’s), or €60 one function Doepfers that seem like they might offer something you might try and experiment with combining them?
