Modular synthesis explained?

If anyone owns one of these. I am looking at buying a Nord Lead 2 or 3, and thought I should consider the G2 aswel.

hey jase i have a g2, since i only have experience with vir c and moss board, i apply substractive technique to get some good sounds.
G2 offers substractive synthesis, additive synthesis, FM, AM, ring modulation, DX router, flipflop module, CLKDIVmodule, 8counter, bincounter, ADCONV, DACONV, step sequencers, compressors, dual saw waveform(not on the virc), whole bunch of filters(filt nord kiks ass), flt voice (designed to simulate vocal tract), comb flt, physical modelling(string osc), osc perc, drumsynth, metalic osc, noise osc, vocoder(16band) and so much modulation and more stuff. Editing software is nice, you could assign all parameters to the knobs and tweek with out the editor. A single sound can have 8 different variations too. 4 part multi. G2 internal memory is divided into 32 banks with 128 memory locations each(manual says). In the future they could easily come with grains and much more.
Go with g2 instead of nl2 or nl3 because g2 emulates both of them and many more.
I'm still learning a lot of stuff on my G2, in the future for a doepfer or moog
hey blank and juho, how you guys doing with your modulars?
