This might seem like a weird comparison, but I'm looking to start making some generative-ish ambient (surprise surprise) music with my semi modular synth lineup (Pittsburgh Modular SV-1b, 0-Coast, Werkstatt, Neutron, and [Behringer] Model D) and I'm wondering what my next purchase should be to best approach it.
I'd had my eye on the NDLR for awhile which seems about perfect for my situation (especially since a music theory expert I am not), but it's also occurred to me that I can pick up a NiftyCase and a Marbles clone for only about a hundred bucks more. The latter is tempting since I've been eyeing an entry into modular for awhile, but if I'm being honest I think the NDLR might be a better fit and also force me to continue to become more proficient at the intruments I already have versus spreading myself too thin (I've been succumbing to GAS pretty hard over the last six months).
I'd love to hear (read) some thoughts from those more knowledgeable than myself.
