I’m both fascinated by notation attempts for modular, and find them refreshingly useless.
I’ve been playing with modular synths for over 25 years. One of my favorite parts is the ephemeral nature of patching. A bump of a knob or the nature of unsynced elements can quickly make actual recall of a larger patch impossible. Due to heat or other variability I’ve had patches change on me over 45 minutes of no one touching them. In a world of digital recall and perfection; this really speaks to me. Immediacy can be relished. It is now or never
I saw Morton Subotnik at my college and he spoke of phase shift due to heating of poorly design VCOs in a serendipitous way rather than something to be feared.
