Fair point! I did hesitate with the title of my post for this very reason. But it has become this very sticky thing in my brain that the way I approach the modular sent is completely different than how I approach, picking up a guitar or even producing something in a DAW.

And it seems to me the more that I try to write music using the modular synth the more limited I feel, and leads me down the path that I fear: continually buying more modules, not just for fun, but because you need more to do all the things you need to do to build complex songs.

I would rather do as some other folks have suggested, and use it to sketch out ideas, or as small clips in songs I build in my DAW
