"I Dream of Wires: Hardcore Edition" 2013 official trailer
Documentary film about the phenomenal resurgence of the modular synthesizer:
With a.o. Legowelt although he stated: https://mobile.twitter.com/DWolfers/sta … 1811079168
Smackos likes to patronize modular users for being boys doing technical stuff, etc... but for those who actually use hardware modulars to produce tracks, the incredible sonic palette is a great antidote against the same damned Roland sounds - that he seems to use again and again and again 
I guess some prefer to think inside the box and to have their synth architecture fixed. Personally, I often find it like wearing someone else's underwear.
Vive La Variété!
The electric goat shares my sentiments:

I'm guessing VST plugins are not included in this documentary.
There's nothing surprising about the steady increase of popularity of VST's. They're pretty damn cool!
What is surprising is the sudden resurgence of hardware modular synths. When I started building mine in 2005, there were roughly 13 manufacturers, ie. Doepfer, Buchla, Modcan, Cyndustries, Wiard, Blacet, Metalbox, Serge, .com, MOTM, PAiA, Analogue Systems and Analogue Solutions. Many of these had been around for several years and interest was steady and somewhat low.
Now, seven years later, there are 60+ ...that's astounding for a market segment that's existed since the 60's. Hence the documentary.

I use my modular for roland monosynth sounds a lot. The Intellijel Rubicon + Dr Octature covers it and then some.
That's really the thing with modulars. You can make most any sound you want (and can afford modules for), from famous synths to fax machine impersonations.
Solvent is obviously a talented and knowledgable musician and I'm excited to see what he's put together. I think this documentary will do a lot to educate people on the world of modular synthesizers beyond poorly put together youtube videos.
I'd also argue that anyone who has ever patched together something on an MS-20, clocked an arp/sequencer on an old synth, or run one synth through another synths filter, has done modular synthesis at a basic level.
