Thank you for taking the time to reply. No I don't own any modules yet. You've given me a lot to consider. I think I am over planning without knowing what will work for me.

That's especially great advice about picking up some logic, maybe a Maths or some other modulation, and a switch as a start. Then experiment with sequencing what I already have. Ill get some good usage out of just that for quite a while until I know what my next modules will be.

Dive on in and take it slow.

I would really appreciate some guidance if anyone has any thoughts. It seems I keep making variations of the same case. Whether it's 6u or 3u, but the result seems cramped and uninspired because I'm probably cramming too much in. I see videos of cases that are a handful of modules that seem more interesting and sound great.

Things that interest me are modulating sequencer output, clock modulation, switches, logic and lots of cv modulation. Non-generative controlled chaos if that makes sense. I have an Analog 4 for sequencing and other semi modular gear (dfam, 0cost, some other stuff with cv and cv sequencers). I'm less interested in multifunction devices with menus. I could drop the dfam into a case but it seems crude somehow haha.

Ideally, the case would provide a couple synth voices that could alternatively provide a few percussive voices. I'm not attached to any of the modules in the example below, but I do love the sound of the STO and Godspeed. The Stages clone seems versatile but maybe a maths would be more interesting.
