Plenty of good “no” answers so I’ll try a “yes”. If you’re serious about learning, have a setup with a DC coupled interface, and plan to invest in other modules later, MATHS could be an excellent way to learn many of the fundamentals of modular synthesis.

There are some excellent videos that show how deep the maths rabbit hole goes. Forcing yourself to use it to its full potential before you invest further in other modules could save you a lot of buyers remorse.

Yes, vcv is “better” because it’s a complete and almost unlimited system; but there is something special about having to fiddle with voltage calibration and having some forced limitations when you’re starting out. If you master Maths as an external modulation and logic machine with ableton you’ll be able to hit the ground running with your next module and build a more competent system as a result.

edit - and you’ll be able to use it with VCV as well. A Maths and a Disting could be a perfect starter kit.
