Digital?
The word "digital" only appears once in this entire article. Sounds like an unfinished thought. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Justanothervisitor (talk • contribs) 19:00, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
In reply, modular analog modules with "digital" components are often referred to as "hybrid" systems. There are a few analog modules that have digital parts, for example Doepfer has a few, but these are mostly 'compound' modules that contain many functions, such as the step-sequencer, where 'digital logic control' is easier to implement than doing the same in much more complex TTL.

The article has become a directory listing rather than an encyclopaedic article. It would be worthwhile looking to remove commercial interests and align this article with the scope of enWP. — billinghurst sDrewth 08:29, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
Types of Modules
The article has conflicting material stuck in willy nilly. For example, we were told that modules are sources or processors. A couple of sentences later, they are signal, control and logic/timing. Then a couple of sentences were are back them being sources or processors. Then we are told they are basic or compoumd. All over the place: poor reader.
So I have rearranged the first paragraph, and also pulled out the "source/processor" material into its own section "Typical modules". The term "compound" is not a term of art in synthesizers, but an unnecessary category introduced inappropriately, so I am rephrasing the second para of the types of modules so that it is not presented as some kind of important key concept.
