I confess that the kind of music that people make with modular synths leaves me totally, absolutely flat. However, the *look* of modular synths is *perfect* for conjuring up the idea of "twiddling" - a key part of my theory of enshittification (doubly so after I painstakingly put a HAL 9000 eye on every dial and knob).
