Hi, my new single "Phantom Protocol" is also available on Spotify. Go listen it and follow me, the rest is coming soon.

Hey guys I am officially starting down the rabbit hole of the forbidden modular synthesis i hear which may or may not suck me and my wallet dry. I am looking for budget friendly modules to start out with that will fit a case i ordered ::: 4 ms 40x ::: and i see myself doing this long term. Dont think i want to expand because i know theres alot you can do with very little.

Id like to know if anyone has any good suggestions with the minimal room given. Much appreciated

Genres down here⬇️
———————————
I think I want to go cyberpunk for a little retro 80s synthwave with crazy silly and trippy alien sounds with 8bit a little video game and psychedelia with some darkwave nostalgia scifi ambience, stranger things / star wars esque that can either crossover or have the option to combine or have seperate sounds on their own with other modules that can produce dystopian/ goth 80s-2000s industrial and aggrotech EBM / TBM sounds.

All around id say artists ranging from depeche mode, the cure, eat static, tobacco, gary numan, new order, perturbator, twin tribes, bowie, NIN, ministry, skinny puppy, marilyn manson, xrx, combichrist, phosgore, etc….. wow what a mouth full.

But i know theres probably a couple essentials like VCAs/ attenuators i probably need to make room for, which also like to get a combined one with possible usb plug in if an option but like modules that can do 2-3 different sounds in one maximizing my space. My main setup consists of a korg volca drum, juno 06-A and I have a scarlett focusrite , arturia minilab midi keyboard and i use logic pro. Thank you for making it this far reading this mess of a post 🤣🙏🏻
