:-) there are no rules what is wrong or right. A modular is an open system. I am using an
A100 and REAKTOR parallel. Think different. Try out any connection and you will discover
interesting new sounds.You are at the beginning. Try out some patches with only a few
modules. Change the patch to a very different sound. Then think about a combination of
these sounds. That's interesting patching. You will know which newer modules you need
to combine these sounds.
Filters are only one of several possibilities to get interesting sounds but a filter can put out
the original sound as maximum (without distortion). So the main point is to have an
interesting input signal for the filters. Interesting sound you get f.i. by hard
synchronisation of two oscillators which are modulated by an ADSR at PM input (A111).

ciao herw and happy patching
