What is your end goal?

eurorack?

...i spend time isolated in a room listening to robot farting sounds

i am now a connoisseur of robot farts. i have spent thousands of dollars to make the perfect rhythmic robot fart sound. man, it's a good robo fart. you people will never be able to understand or appreciate how perfect it is.

my bank account, where did it go?

how do i get out of this trap?

But the goal is to make sure your modular doesn't fart, that's the challenge.

My goal is to feel as if I've achieved just one truly useful and meaningful thing before I die. There's still hope... I'm only 52.

To find out how many patch cables are needed for the modular to become sentient.

If we don't hear back from you, we know what happened. Would being killed by a modular be called, being "patched?"

you already make useful things and chances are someone has made some meaningful cherished art with those useful things

but we all have a scale/metric for such things and i'm in the same boat.

I'm sure you've done lots of useful things, but "meaningful" that's a difficult one, I suppose if things are meaningful to ourselves, that's OK!

I've always been more techy than musically proficient. I just want to make cool music with funky noises and sounds from something a bit more unconventional.

For me working with the electronic music is like painting or sculpture, and contrasts with the jazz improvisation guitar work I do. It is a different paradigm. I don't have a goal other than to explore my materials and occasionally come up with a few things I find worth listening to more than once or twice and posting on soundcloud etc. It's an adventure, and also I feel there is a spiritual element in getting in touch with the creative moment. Mainly I enjoy it, it's just what I do.

I've been a guitar player and general music enthusiast most of my life.

Started to get into more electronic music.........and it was like an entire world I never knew existed was exposed to me for the first time.

Hardware synthesis was my gateway.
Then realizing how powerful synths are or can be.
Started hearing synth in everything.

Then discovering what modular was. I'm also one of those "more techy than a muscian/writer" type of people. I love gear.
Haven't officially taken the plunge yet on modular (only have MS-20 Mini and Mother 32 currently), but I'm starting to plan out a rack and play with Softube Modular.

My first goal is to understand modular on a basic level.
My end goal would be to discover my path as I go and create music along the way. Evolving and changing as I learn and experiment.
I want a self playing system that flexible enough to do multiple types of sounds, especially in conjunction with guitar/bass. from drone to ambient to heavy to weird.

montaignes words came to mind:

"[L]et us learn bravely to stand our ground, and fight him. And to begin to deprive him of the greatest advantage he has over us, let us take a way quite contrary to the common course. Let us disarm him of his novelty and strangeness, let us converse and be familiar with him, and have nothing so frequent in our thoughts as death. Upon all occasions represent him to our imagination in his every shape; at the stumbling of a horse, at the falling of a tile, at the patching of a modular, at the least prick with a pin, let us presently consider, and say to ourselves, ‘Well, and what if it had been death itself?’ and, thereupon, let us encourage and fortify ourselves."

No end goal here, just looking to have fun.
