This documentary just popped up on Netflix this morning. It's a history of the modular synthesizer, and although there are gaps in the story it's still very interesting to anyone who's nostalgic about the early days of synths. Highly Recommended.
 
Digital equivalents may be cheaper and more accessible, but they will never have a lickable module.

And probably won't need to be tuned before using either!

Dribbling on your VSTi's is not recommended. 

Added to my list.
 
But not for "nostalgic" reasons. 

Yep. Gonna be watched a lot here..

Hmmm looks like this is US only for the time being ... not listed on Austrian netflix yet ...

Damn ... streaming only at the moment.  Not available on Amazon Prime Video either.

The film was only released on July 26th, so I'm a little surprised that it showed up on Netflix so quickly. I see that you can already buy it on Amazon, though.

Not here in Canada yet either...

Gee, I'm sorry about getting your hopes up only to find it's not yet available in your countries. Austria, I can understand. It's probably EU red tape. But Canada? Really? Cheese and hockey!
 
I know there is an active group of modular enthusiasts in the Seattle area, as I ran across a meetup announcement a couple years back. Unfortunately, it had been scheduled for a week when I was to be out of town, so I missed it. I'm going to keep an eye out now and try to catch the next one. If any of you guys who are local to me find out about one, please give me a shout. The last one I know about was held, IIRC, at North Seattle Community College.
