ms20 gateway to modular

the ms20 mini is the only music machine i own. i use it to make all noises & drums. lately i've been watching modular synth videos & wondering if it was time to leap into complete modular synthesis! there are so many options- can anything compete with my ms20?

yes, there is a lot,
the whole modular synth world!
not necessarily compete,
more likely cooperate with your ms20

Heh, oh s**t, the path into modular is a fun, dark, expensive path:)

what do you guys use? can you connect the ms20 to other modules?

FYI the real MS20 is hertz versus the standard volts octaves control voltage...
so you need converter for eurorack and most modular systems...
unless you have cases of old obscure hertz modular gear...
you can somehow do the conversion for volts octaves with the ESP...
yet eye have enough other old analog hertz gear that personally never needed doing it...yea it's the traditional gateway for modular madness since 1978...

I've just been thinking about this again. I've been using my MS-20 a lot recently. I never did get into eurorack. Thanks for that link.
