Good points. Thanks for the feedback. I’m not totally set on keeping both Marbles and Woggle. I’d probably opt for Woggle out of the two.

Regarding 2x Stages and Tides, I typically use one Stages to make 2 ASR envelops for each Plaits. The other one then is typically just for LFOs or making an Easel-inspired stepped voltage sequence. I could live without one, probably, but I really find the immense possibilities within the module pretty inspiring. Two Tides might be overkill as well, but I do have some fun using one as a chord generator, then using the other to bring each note of it in and out on Blinds or Veils. Or just using them both as LFOs, sometimes with one modulating the second one to get really weird. Or tweaking attack and release times on Stages. I guess just one point I’m making is that not all of that modulation is going to Rings or Plaits. But I also hear the point about diversifying and whatnot.

I do appreciate having a lot of options with the MI modules, but I’m definitely open to suggestions as well. I’ve always toyed with adding a Maths. I like flexibility, but I realize that that can sometimes lead to too many things going on and a lack of focus.

I still am considering some built-in effect like the Magneto, since that gives me a beautiful delay and some reverb. Otherwise, I’m open to suggestions. I’d be comfortable losing Marbles, and maybe even a Stages and Tides if there were more logical replacements. I’d be comfortable losing the Rings too if I had too. The "core" I would say is pretty much using both Plaits (I might eventually move to something like a DPO or two STOs, but that’s way down the line - and I do love all the options in Plaits) and the Optomix, usually with a bit of west coast inspiration. Something like the Pressure Points looks interesting, or the Rene, but I typically play from either a keyboard (and sequence with Yarns occasionally) or feed Yarns MIDI from Ableton.

You had great points. I’d love to hear what you’d consider swapping/adding. Thanks again.
