i personally use a modular because i found those standard
analogue synths too limiting. i always wished that my mono/poly
had a highpass filter and a third envelope, but it didn't.
so it seems logical to go modular.
i don't see modulars as a box of infinite possibilities,
because there is a limit in the count of modules (unless your
name is hans zimmer). things like an adsr are quite simple
and if we still don't understand how to apply it, then we also
haven't used a doorbell properly during all those years :-)

and grant, i can see that the future is near and you are
a glorious part of it :-)

best wishes
