Well I see your point. Prorbaly explains why a lot of newer analog synths are at least $1,000.00 or more. The cheapst one I have seen is Dave Smiths Evolver for $499.00. And that is only a small table top module. But I also nticed that his Moogerfooger stomp boxes are $269.00 only becuse that is just a single component. The CP-251 is $369.00, and the VX-351 voyager expander is $265.00 But these are last two are expanders only though.
I guess this is why only a select few can afford too buy a Minimoog voyager. Though I gather he makes up for it in stomp boxes and thermines. It's a good thing he's not makeing modular systems.
Now if he just made an VCO stomp box?
