i would not encourage him to start with an 'expensive' modular, right from the start...

IMHO, he should first start with a nice euro set-up (9U at least, or more, to get a taste of the Real power that a nice euro system has these days!) and then add a few Serge panels!    :-)

Do yourself a favour, and don't start trying to fill a Monster case.

Dieter will not be angry with you.



First tell us (as suggested before) what kind of music you want to make (or make), what [you think] your goal is in terms of timbre, rhythm, genre, etc...



A "classical" synth flow mostly goes like this :

- sound source (VCO, Noise) -> filter -> VCA -> out

- modulation sources (LFO, S/H, ENV) to shape the pitch, the timbre, and the loudness

- possibly also trigger/gate sources (Keyboard, Sequencer, etc)



But a modular system encourages you to step off that beaten path, and experiment. Though first you need to decide what your goals are (yeah, it's a recursive thing)...
