Sorry missed this. Do you rate it? I'm looking for something for atonal and/or melodic 'Modular' esque lines for Techno. I've had semi modular synths before, most notably the Doepfer Dark Energy which I could never really get anything other than totally abstract/noise from, although I was way more of a novice producer at that time.
I'm currently using a Korg Volca Modular, which although it has some really nice tones, I just find hard to get the best from, and sequencing externally isn't really cutting it for me.
Currently set up between me and my production partner in a live hardware Techno scenario is DFAM, Quadrantid Swarm, 1010 Music Blackbox, Elektron Digitakt and Analog RYTM, plus TR-8S (have not decided what we're going to use live as yet)
Cheers!

I really like it, it’s quite different to any of the classic (clone) synths I have - in tone and operationally but obviously there is some crossover. It really rewards time spent and what’s great is that a) there are some ‘shortcuts’ that will take you from melodic to noise very easily and b) everything you do with it sounds good - the sweet spot is massive!
I often use it for arp or lead kind of things where the timbre shifts with the pitch (way more depth than a filter tracking pitch for eg) but it’s capable of monster basses and a little bit of percussion too!
The 2600 might be an option for you - it does absolute filth with the ring mod, 3 VCOs and spring reverb but it is large and complicated to set/reset a patch.

It certainly has that squawky/plucky raw “modular sound” without you have to go two grand deep into eurorack. Love this classic Mylar Melodies review:
