The main thing Eurorack will offer instead is unique experiences. AE Modular seems to have some great stuff, but it is ultimately fairly traditional synthesis without much variety in concept and interface. Not a bad thing at all (focused systems are productive systems) but different. You should probably start by looking at some unique sound sources/oscillators and a unique filter/VCA/low pass gate or other way of articulating the sound. I can't really be too specific here – this is a personal choice that will make your system yours. Maybe a unique sequencing system, as well. Something that feels malleable and musical like what you want, but operates in a more hands-on or abstract way to program a sequence (like the Mimetic). You can also use the Polyend Tracker in combination with a MIDI converter so that while the Mimetic or your other modular stuff (quantizers plus modulation are a great trick for this) actually does the sequencing and you can manipulate that with the modular interface, the modular is still being clocked and controlled by the Tracker in conjunction with whatever it's doing, and a combination of both can also be used.

I found that just having fun often can lead to learning new stuff without the feeling the pressure of having to be productive. Being productive has its place in certain situations. Just allowing yourself to get lost in your craft and not even thinking about time. I've often found myself to be more creative when l allow myself to just mess around until i end up on the edge of making something i really end up liking. i've done this alot with drawing and 3d modeling. I'll take the lessons i learn from books and mess around with it for a while until i get to a point where it really makes sense to me. And just keep messing with it.
Me wanting to show my 3d models done in CSG.
this is me messing around alot with a program until i got pretty proficient at it and made this. CSG modeling is a bit different from polygonal modeling. In some ways i felt it was more intuitive and a bit easier to learn. But the tools offered in the program lead me to make this. Something i probably wouldnt have made in a program like Blender. Because the tools in that program are fundimentally different.
