Good question.
44 modules is massive. 22 is pretty big and for someone who doesn't know if they're going to need a soldering iron (with due respect), you might do some more digging, research, hard thinking and budgeting before embarking on such an expensive plan.
The
real beauty of modular synthesis is it's building block architecture. The building block can translate into knowledge as well as the composition of the system itself.
The first building block would be a basic synthesizer unit; 1 or 2 oscillators, an envelope, a VCA and a filter. Perhaps add an LFO and a midi to cv module. That gives you a grand total of 7 modules so far.
Thinking luxuriously, let's add a second filter and an audio input module.
9 modules can do a lot and keep you occupied for a deal of time.
it's also more or less what you get in most monophonic synthesizers.
Even if you add a ring-mod and s&h, you are still about halfway into your planned first module batch.
So how did you decide on 22 to 44 modules?
