Yeah, I went from my ableton DAW to modular for this reason, but now eurorack possibilities also have exploded I end up with the same problem. I spend more time reading manuals of new modules and fiddling around than actually creating music. Still fun though.

Same here, although I find the expense of Eurorack gear (and HP even more so) limits the depth of the rabbit hole a bit. Still, I spend a lot of time reading manuals for modules I don't even own, and even more time tinkering with circuits for my own modules. The notion that getting "out of the box" will make you more productive musically is a farce, a fun farce, but still a farce.

Haha yeah I'd say going to a eurorack setup really puts all of those possibilities right in front of your face instead of hidden behind menus! I've always been interested in those modules.. they look so fun!
