Pros & cons of modular synths (is Eurorack worth it?)

In this video I'll break down various pros and cons of working with modular synthesizers—with the intention of sharing different perspectives and areas to consider, so that you can assess what kinds of tools might work best for you, given your creative goals. Specific areas I'll focus on are the learning curve associated with modular synths, issues around immediacy of use, fitting into existing musical contexts, repeatability, and price.
