Interesting links

• Raul's World of Synths, a magnificent channel with insanely in-depth reviews of basic Doepfer modules and their functionale. Good for beginners and pros alike!
• Doepfer example patches - classic east-coast-ish demo patches from people who (re)started it all in late 90s
• Doepfer suggested literature - a short list of nice books on the topic; find the actual books on your own!
• modwiggler.com is an old, yet very active forum on modular synthesizers. Holds answers to a lot of your possible questions. The link points to a fun thread on modular tips-n-tricks.
• Serge fans - there's a lot of formats apart from Eurorack. One is my old beloved Serge, started in early 70s. Mostly for inspirational web-digging
