I made myself not clear enough, I meant modularity as in studio
(connecting blackboxes together in a mixing desk and to a sequencer),
not modular synthesizer (connecting many many blackboxes to create a
sound). I have some reservations plugging in whole synthesizers inside a
sequencer application, but it might be just me. On the other hand I
perform life with laptop so total recall is even more an issue than in
studio situation. At the moment I am happy with seq24 connected to pd,
maybe with another synth or even a jackxmms just in case something crashes.
So many ways, freedom of choice makes me dizzy :)
