modular synthesis

My favourite are ad-infinitum, the floppiness doesn't bother me. I try to use the shortest cable that is possible, but sometimes I like to swtich cables between several destinations and so I try to choose a length of cable that is right for the few places that it might need to go.

Anyways I like the 6" cables and use them quite a bit.

I think generally if you make an estimate as a noob about how much cables you will need, and then times that number by 5. You might be about right.

I have both Doepfer and Ad Infinitum. I prefer Ad Infinitum to Doepfer. But, there's really not that much of a difference to be honest.

I use a few radio shack 1/8 to 1/4 into my mixer.

I'm definitely going to grab a few stackables when I order again.

yeah you cant have enough stackcables, but they are expensive

i dont think many people have the Asys ones, so you will have to take my word for it, they are luxury !

and get yourself a reel of velcro cable tie stuff, i dont know what i'd do without it, i certainly couldnt do a live gig without it, you're guarenteed to fck up and get confused.
hardly anyone seems to know this trick, its absolutely essential to me.

I'm thinking about getting 20 stackable's with my first batch, but he only has 90cm cables in stock... To long?
