Be sure to look into MANUFACTURER SUB-FORA as well..
Cosmotronic Vortex - first complex osc, really having fun with it
Stochastic Instruments SIG+ - I love it so much. I have a Brain Seed --> Triatt --> Quantermain that is a permanent fixture but this is really taking it up a level. If only you could do something with the loops once they are snapshotted!
Intellijel Quad VCA - I've heard you can never have too many
Last three to arrive:
Knob.Farm Ferry
Noise Enginering BIA
Doepfer A-111-6
Last three ordered:
Intellijel 1U Steppy
Doepfer A-138i Interrupting Mixer
2HP Arp
Next three on the list:
Solid State Gate
Mordax Data
Make Noise Mimeophon
Next three to sell:
Antumbra Knit - Tiny knobs on a module like this suck, lesson learned. Will replace with another Plaits/clone
Intellijel Zeroscope - Upgrading to Data
Bitbox Micro - Buggy AF. I'm thinking Rossum Assimil8or next
More than 3, but here's the latest batch & brief thoughts:
Joranalogue Step 8 - Simple and elegant and deep all at once ... having fun with this one and still have a lot to try with it. Joranalogue Contour 1 - Swapped out a Boundary for this one, mostly just to save a couple HP and match up with my growing Joranalogue collection. No complaints, elegant as the Step 8 and does what it does just dandy. Noise Reap ISD Sampler - It's not a Lubadh, but for some crusty lofi sampling shenanigans, which is kinda my thing as of late, it's proving quite fun. Erica Synths Black BBD - I'm not all that crazy about BBDs, so I'm not 100% sure why I got this, but I seem to be having fun with it for the time being and reaching for it a lot. Wish it wasn't quite so noisy, but I suppose that's a BBD for you. It does have a nice spacey, springy vibe, and like most ES Black modules the build quality seems great. Erica Synths Black Joystick 2 - Pretty intuitive, well made, fun to use. Pittsburgh Modular Game System - I wasn't sure about this one but have always been curious about it and got a good deal, and so far, it's pretty damn fun. Not very intuitive -- even with the couple of demos out there, I've had to feel some things out for myself -- but it is kind of weirdly engaging and I am enjoying it.

SIG is great fun.
What do you mean re: the loops when they’re snapshotted? Once looping you can still do things like adjusting the start/end points of the loop, shortening/lengthening, forced bar editing, etc.
synth tech e440 — simply great, every other filter i have now sounds a little lacking in comparison.
wmd subway — very interesting, i've got sounds out of it i wouldn't have thought of before on the first session. there is lots to explore here.
wmd time warp — i've not quite figured it out yet. it seems to need a slewed gate to work as expected? i have to read the manual next.
WMD Micro Hadron Collider - been fascinated with this unstable, dirty filter ever since the early days of eurorack. finally managed to find one, and in fantastic shape. Resonant EQ Silonex - version very close to the silonex-mica i wanted, and very decently priced from a fellow wiggler. so, resistance was futile. DMMDM - Convertible 333 - passive multi. to get away with less stackables, which i love/hate

You’re right, can definitely do some adjustments to how the loop is played back. I was thinking about how the Brain Seed works, where you can “punch in” to overwrite just part of the loop and so allow the loop to evolve over time.
nothing against the SIG - the workflow is just different. I really appreciate the ability to turn the loop playback on and off and go back to the ”stochastic” mode.
XAOC Moskwa II + Ostankino
(Missed already, mainly for all the in/out modulation capabilities the ASQ-1 doesn’t have. Overlooked this bit in my quest for the new big shiny.
Mutable Warps
Love Mutable to bits but never liked the sound of Warps.
Pressure Points + Brains
Very much enjoyed using it as a preset machine and sequence mangler, but I like Frame’s workflow more and didn’t need both.
