Hey I made a post a couple days back regarding what modules I would need to start out doing this. And im strong on a few modules with multi purposes. Would like to know if i just dont know what im doing or maybe some of these arent absolutely necessary. I havent bought any yet but with 40X-HP of room and a bit of mod grid planning, I have currently decided as a strong start for my synthpop, ebm, cyberpunk rock/ industrial setup to go with the following below:

-Dreadbox utopia. 10HP (Being a pretty versatile module from what ive seen and heard, got LFO, Attenuator, mixer, and waveshaper)

-Behringer Victor 10HP and Brains 16HP ( stuck between the two. the knob on victor is super trippy to me and i like that with the usbc out for i dont even know what id use for. Dont even think midi connects to it for my arturia minilab 3 but want to arpeggiate basslines. And the brains which has the host plugin id imavine for midi connection thiugh im probably wrong. Downside with this is it takes up 16HP vs 10HP)

-Bastl Ikarie 8HP (hear epic great things about. Love what it has envelope follower, filter, VCA, and dual stereo. Sick distortion!)

-Pico DSP - 2HP (all your atmospheric effects with included distortion)

Now heres the tricky part..
I want a Catnip 2HP distortion. Probably dont need though. But which wont fit now that I also want to cram into this case is the MFX ALM032 Busy Circuits becauee from what ive seen. It does great ambient textures allows headphone plugin ( oh theres that too, where would i plug my headphone into, no room for a 3 in 1 headphone, plus clock, and midi to CV ). Of all id rather toss out the catnip and victor to maximize for a separate headphone, midi-> CV, and clock.

Also through in as options. Behringer midi to dv, with the host and midi pins…. And a ALM stereo sum might be unnecessary

I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE. AT LEAST ONE MODULE THAT CONTAINS A SCREEN ON MY BOARD BECAUSE I LIKE SEEING SOME KIND OF FREQUENCY OR WAVES MAKING IT MORE TECH LIKE IM STARING AT A VINTAGE FACTORY CONTROL PANEL. I KNOW THATS WEIRD.. AND plan on adding some decor aesthetic parts to give it a super scifi look. I would like to have some sort of BASTL in there if this isnt the right one. I really dont know

I cant add photo here after the link otherwise would..

This is such an exhausting mind puzzle but having fun brainstorming so far. Thank you!! 🖖🏻👽👾🤖☣️

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

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 🤣🙏🏻
