I have been playing with VCV to get my head around some aspects of modular, but still I am getting tired of clicking on a screen. Also having to dig around third party modules for VCV to do some basic stuff gets a bit boring (0.6.0 I hear should help that though).
My initial thought was to buy modules slowly and use VCV rack with the modules but so far that isn't happening.
I reckon the Behringer Neutron is going to be something that I get as it's got plenty of patch points.
