    I’m not a modular guy and wirephobic, but I can appreciate the time invested in creating a synth in the style of the ARP 2500 and other pioneering modular monsters. Definitely not in the average user’s budget, but it’s good to see synths that a top notch studio or university can use to blow their doors off.

Theres also the r&d, sourcing and so on that cost a lot. Despite of other larger systems being in the same price range, single modules can be as expensive and even more, depending on what you want. I try to see the value for sound engineers, composers, producers, universities and for music itself rather than only for myself ;)

    This answers the question I had years ago: Why can't modular be two-piece one with the control the other on a long cable with just the outs and ins. Modular with neatness, or for those who want to see the control dials and switches and faders instead of cables. I would buy modular if designed like the Colossus. This synth also taught me how to spell colossus. Won't forget the spelling or this synth for the rest of my life.

      (And having said that, I see how the use of a matrix rather than a set of 1/4" connectors means that you don't have to worry about input versus output --- it's settled by the circuits and you can't get it wrong. It is so inappropriate for someone in my financial position to see this beautiful machine as an obvious necessity.)
