You could do like I did and maybe get this ? (The Kraftzwerg only. The expansion box on top is a DIY project I did for it. It adds 3 multiples and 4 attenuators to the MFB.)

Good luck with that, should be quite a bit of fun. Forgot to mention how much I enjoyed the last video you posted a link to, "All Here". Watched that a few times. Well done! I can imagine seeing that vid on MTV back in the early 80's when they actually aired cool videos.
I pre-ordered a Minibrute way back in January from Musiciand Friend. Arrived last week. Couldn't pass on the discount of $425 with free shipping and no tax. You get a whole lot of bang for the buck here. Not only is it a great sounding fully analog synth, but it doubles as an interface to any modular with audio in/out, and full CV in/outs, plus can be used as a MIDI to CV over a wide range. Plays really well with modular gear with that arpeggiator via the CV pitch and gate out. I'll have to hook it up to the Moog modular to really test it out. All I need now is a table top modular to go with this table top synth. :lol:

very good!
I used it in place of my Voyager last night for an instrumental surf rock band show, and it sat on top of the mix just as the Moog does! timbre-wise it's less like a Moog and more like an Arp, and more like an Axxe and less like an Odyssey, but the bottom end is still definitely there! I'll be curious though to see how it stands up to my slider grabbing and switch flicking abuse- they feel a little on the cheap side, especially the switches, but then again, I'm used to the Voyager, and if this thing had components in that class, the price would be well over 500$ I'll post an all-minibrute + drum machine tune shortly! oh, and the tap tempo-activated arpeggiator is great! I tapped to the drums last night before a solo, and then mid-solo, switched on the arpeggiator- the crowd's, (and the other guys in the band's) eyebrows all shot up to their foreheads!

Thanks! No Spector dealers in Denver unfortunately. I purchased mine by mail order from Bass Central - great folks to buy from.

Thank you for the welcomes! I am literally flabbergasted at the quality, power, dynamism, ambience, clarity, personality, capacity, strength, color, etc ad infinitum of the low end. It is what I have been unsuccessfully searching for with my other keyboards for more than a decade. It truly goes way above and beyond what I ever imagined and anticipated. I assume that it will evoke such enthusiasm across all the octaves, its just that in the short time I have had it I'm totally transfixed with playing in the bass range.

I'm right there with you, filtered. Alas, I needed funding for my Voyager. You can't have everything. :(

Got myself a new keyboard stand for my Little Phatty.

It was expensive but the phatty is so much more comfortable to play standing up now :)
