Well my first week w/ Modular/Flexor has been a blast. I have several emulations of big analog sounds I use to play and hear. I conceed that this is the best synth platform period. I urge anyone here to buy a used Studio Electronics SE-1 or SE-1x, and MIDI it up to run w/ Modular in mono mode. As this is what I will do now. Modular has still not convinced me on the low end, or in the filters. But I am sure I will figure out the precise filtering with more practice. But 4 right now, my analog combined with this
Modular is beyond any hybrid out there. I use to mix my XPander with Solaris, and now it is the Modular with SE-1x. This is my future mono beast. It is incredibly obese.
I couldn't be happier.
But guys don't believe me. Go buy one on ebay for 350 USD and you too can die of being a FatBastard. If you miss the old sounds of Emerson, Wakeman, Pink Floyd, Styx, and my old group Head East. Suffer no more, as this is better than ever with the excellant precision of Modular mixed with that Oberheim/Moog shit in the low end can't be beaten. A sore dick deal,, get it? It can't be beat.
Fat Bastards
I recently got an atc-x and it instantly became my favourite subtractive synth (especially for bass) so I can second your recommendation of studio electronics.
Generally, analogue through the pulsar sounds great to me. I really like the scope effects. Their sound and their endless configurability pretty much killed my g.a.s. for hardware effects units. I wanted an eventide H3000 for years but I can't imagine it would sound much better and it would certainly be a far greater PITA to set up and use...

So you re-route your analog into Scope? I wanted to do this at first, 4 I was nervous about computers on stage. In case of a crash, I would use the analogs to weasel my way out of a performance until I could reboot. As Scope has never crashed once,( thank you GaryB ) I should re-do my rig as I also love the Scope FX. I will probably re-route my Line 6 Echo Pro, and my Lexicon MPX-550. Then I could play all of my sounds in reverse live, and control everything through that little workhorse of a mixer, the STM1632. That Dog Will Hunt!!

I use a yamaha 01v for monitoring and all my hardware synths are wired to a patch bay. The default state is that they all go to the 01v and then I patch them as required into scope once I want to effect or record them. But I'm a studio guy so the idea of the pc failing doesn't hold quite the same terrors for me as it does for you
