ModularGrid Rack

Hi modular people!

Any feedback on this rack would be hugely appreciated. I am familiar with analogue synths and modular synthesis in software (Reaktor Blocks). Zero experience with Eurorack but I am looking to dive in. I produce techno and have put out a few releases on minor independent labels.

My aims for this rack are:
1. Use it to produce actual music, not just messing around or "collecting" modules.
2. Make phat analogue sounds and sequences; hence the analogue VCO, multimode and Minimoog style filters.
3. Get creative/complex/unpredictable sequences; René seems to be at the top of many people's lists for this.
4. Make unique, weird and wonderful sounds; I saw some videos of the Shapeshifter and was blown away by the sound and possibilities.
5. Modulating FX and "playing" them live; the Blackhole DSP looks good but I am very much open to suggestions.
6. Syncing with and recording into DAW (Ableton).

So I am wondering:
Am I missing any essential modules given the above?
Are there any duplicates or non essential modules that I could (for now) do without?

Thank you and happy noise making to all!

Tony
