I’ve been referring to it as the ‘GASkiller’ 
I posted my article on Reddit r/modular and r/eurorack. Sadly, the MetaModule is not getting a lot of love there. And they are accusing me of posting a ChatGPT generated ad! Yet, it was written by me! LOL!
a lot of close minded modular nuts are perhaps intimidated by mm because in 3u 26hp size it can rival what their beloved 9u 80hp can do. or perhaps they are just screenophobic. or maybe its not analog enough. don’t even get me started on the whole “analog holier than thou” bunch haha
Pretty crazy…especially considering how many modules have embedded circuitry these days!
I only carry around one quote in my brain. “The meaning of your communication is the result that you get” Did you use the word “delve”? 
Words and Phrases that Make it Obvious You Used ChatGPT | by Margaret Efron | Learning Data | Medium
I have been a professional writer for almost 5 decades. And, yes, I use the word “delve” and most of the other words and phrases in that article all of the time and have for years!
I can see why the post generated that reaction that it did. It definitely has that “paid promotion by an influencer” vibe to it that generally turns people off in a discussion forum.
I love my MM. I appreciate it for what it does well, but I also understand its shortcomings. I continue to buy hardware modules because there are plenty whose functionality cannot be duplicated by the MM, or because I enjoy having easily accessible controls and inputs/outputs. I’ve even acquired some of the 4ms hardware modules since acquiring my MM. I’m a big fan of the MM, but not a “mega fan-boy”.
Well, I have not been paid by anyone…I am just an enthusiastic fanboy of the MM. I think I will add a disclosure to the Medium article.
In 2025, wordsmiths are in the crosshairs. EDIT: Maybe throw in a profanity here or there.
Don’t be offended Tony, it is them not you.
Reddit is full of angry, frustrated manbabies who are hardwired for cynicism and drain the joy out of everything. I stopped posting there years ago.
Profanity isn’t my style. I like to keep it clean!
Yeah, it is a tough room, indeed! I did get a positive response from Ill Gates. He has been interested in MM for quite a while.
seeking affirmation on reddit will never end well 
though in fairness, this notion of a multi function module replacing a wall of modular saving money etc, and be equivalent is pretty old, a meme almost at this point .
remember the meme of a rack full of distings?
the thing is, its comparing apples n’ oranges.
forgetting analog purists,
even in a digital domain the difference is accessibility, spontaneity or ‘hands on-ness’
multi function modules trade this for all the reasons you mention.
it’s a compromise, and that trade-off depends on the individual.
I have the original rings, beads, elements in my rack, the way I interact with these physical modules is completely different to how I use within my SSP/Meta module.
but in the virtual form, I can have many instances of them in the SSP/MM, I can do polyphony.
ofc, also on the SSP/MM I also have modules that just don’t exist in hardware form, and as a software dev I can create my own.
so they have many advantages, but for many (including me), the lack of immediacy, physical interaction is a big downside… I just love physical patching, twiddling more than doing on a laptop or on a small screen.
I’ll also say at times, I do sometimes look at these virtual modules, and wonder is it really worth it? Ive a powerful laptop, and I can connect things like vcv/pure data etc to my modular via a multi channel usb audio interface (dc coupled), and do something very similar.
fortunately, for me, there is something really fun, about writing code for something that end up on a physical device (rather than running on my laptop), so I fall back to enjoying what I have… and my hybrid system.
so yeah, apples n’ oranges… and both sides of the argument, can over play, the similarities, and differences.
if you want to play with physical wires and knobs, the MM (etc) is no replacement.
but when you want some extra flexibility they are great.
But I guess thats why I’d dispute your title …
MM (and others) saved me little money (or rack space), as I want / need both, for different reasons.
note:
as above, I’ve been using /writing for SSP, Bela, Nebulae 2 long before MM was released.. so im a fan of virtual modular within eurorack, but see both pros/cons.
MM is a great implementation of this concept, but fundamentally doesn’t (and can’t) change that equation even with the expanders. imho.
There is no need for affirmation on Reddit. Horses for courses.
My use case and needs are very different from most modular users’, and there is quite a diversity of thought even among that crowd.
I disagree with you, as I don’t think MM is a meme–a rack full of Distings is wildly impractical. Using a MM as part of a small rack is a valid approach, IMHO. I am cool with the way I work.
It has been 50 years since I first laid hands on a modular synth (an EML Electrocomp), and I have no desire to return to those days. And, as I am coming from VCV Rack and in-the-box DAW production, it is not a big jump for me.
It is cool that you can write your own code. I have no desire to do that.
I would rather spend time making music.
I didn’t say MM was a meme, I said, the claiming that a multi function modular can entirely replace a wall full of physical modules is. nor, did I claim there were not valid use-cases.
as I said, I enjoy mine a lot.
personally, I still enjoy a bit of everything.
Ive a eurorack system with physical modules (digital and analog), and an AE modular (which is kind of like the old Doepfer starter systems). all hands on, MM compliments them well.
I also use and enjoy Max / VCV on a laptop/desktop.
also, my real passion is expressive instruments (so mpe/haken etc), and digital rules there as its really the only practical solution for polyphony, so again MM has some use-cases here ( * )
we are each on our own journey through music, so we use different tools.
we are living in a great time, with so much choice.
and Im happy you have found yours !
( *) which im working on in the background
I have no problem with multi-function modular or screens. Reminds me of my studio in the 80s when I had racks of digital gear. Nothing wrong with old school modules or Doepfer. Just not my thing, and not the sound I am looking for. Expressive instruments are definitely cool. Bottom line: It is not the tools you use. It is the music you create.
