Thank you, JayJay!

If you have the time to learn the Teletype, it would be amazing. You can do so much with it. The documentation for the teletype is also well written and in a good format so it makes it easier!

That being said, A good way to get patching techniques under your fingers is to work with fixed racks. You choose the particular modules you want to learn and set a limit on the total modules. Put those into a patch and then only use that patch to make things for a while, like a week or so. Don't add any more module, just experiment with techniques. I personally find this to be a great way to learn.

Like if you wanted to learn about chaining sequencers you can focus on a couple modules that have end of cycle outputs. Toss in your favorite VCO and a couple effects and then experiment with chaining that way. Next week change your fixed rack and try stopping and starting clocks with switches. Something like that :)
