I do agree about the modular beef. I bought a ton of it because I had writers block and got fooled by YouTube vids. But in reality you get bored and all the sounds don’t sit well in a mix you need to do a lot to get them fit in.
There gathering dust now in my studio I’m gonna give them to my son when he gets older.

Color Map Of The Sun by Pretty Lights is mainly modular synths. That's the only complete project I know that was made with modular synths. Lmao

Good modular stuff all around like behind the sky music, bluetechs label

Launchpad: fancy light show, rarely use it
3 MPK minis - mostly aesthetic- mk2 black, 2 mk 3's combined to make a unique look
MPD26 looks like a MPC - again aesthetic, MPD218 is the beat pad used most often

It's the "learning how to use them" that gets distracting/disheartening.
Still NO CLUE about "arpegistor" on my MPK (can do rudimentary note repeat)

All I wanted was to connect my old full size electric keyboard to my DAW - various MIDI interfaces failed, so I got the MPK... then Launchkey 25 cos "coloured pads" ( aesthetic AGAIN AGAIN) but 25keys is insufficient... so I got the Launchkey 37 (because TWO rows of coloured pads)... saw an Alesis V49 going for chips so bought that "cos I could" - sat on its side out of sight for months - would need a new desk to regularly use it.

£100+ on a mic... friends stopped coming round, so that's been in its box for 5months now; MONEY WELL SPENT!!!

sorry Chet, but i like to use more than one note at a time

LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER has made a ton of amazing music on modular. i've made a lot too. Sequencing is the only thing that's not too great honestly, but modular stuff is great for sound generation, as any other instrument or plugin would be used.

Get into self generative modular wb it’s fanciful and spacey. I’m too poor for modular. My gracious wife bought me a moog that is semi-modular 😂 god bless her, she knows I like paralyzing options
