I'm interested in your opinions here. Maybe it's just me, but modular synth seems to be more popular than ever these days. There's a growing number of modular synth channels (I seem to discover more every day); this year at Glastonbury (arguably the UKs biggest music festival) there were a number of artists performing on the main stage (and other stages) with a modular rig somewhere in the setup. All of this is great for the modular community!
Sometimes I feel that modular synth music is it's own genre. You can find playlists on Spotify of just modular synth artists.
Despite all this, I see much of the content (my own included) related to modular synth on YouTube falls into a small number of categories.
Ambient, generative, techno and gear stuff.
Personally I enjoy watching all these types of videos.
I love listening to music created by other modular musicians and seeing how they perform whether it be ambient or techno or whatever. I love watching videos where artists talk about the gear they are using.
One of the things I rarely see on YouTube is how music theory relates to working with modular. Or discussion on the creative process and how artists work. This is an area that I find really interesting.
I'm curious as to what others think. What sorts of videos would you like to see related to modular synth?

Answers on a postcard!
Maybe something else entirely, let me know.
