Hey, im new to synthesizers, ive read a book and have been trying to gather my own information as much as possible but now is the time to start putting together my own rack.

So far I've put together Make Noise Maths, STO, and 2HP Euclid (Euclid doesnt show up on the jpg so I wrote it through text) because I got some good deals on them locally. I want to go for something very explorative and crisp, but I don't know of what specific direction to take it in. For reference, I love autechre, Ben Frost and Tim Hecker, but I don't want to exactly commit to that ethereal type of sound because as I understand it, it takes a lot of investment to achieve. At the same time, I don't know exactly what questions to answer in this introduction, so yeah, hope that someone is willing to help me out a bit!

Also, what would be a good case to look for online? I know I want to continue with modular when I'm older so I should get a bigger case than I might otherwise, wouldn't have to be super portable or anything.
