I started a video series some time ago, focusing on basic concepts of (Eurorack) Modular Synthesizers. My goal was to produce short videos, around 3 minutes in length, that quickly give the viewer a fundamental understanding of the topics covered. After that, the viewer can look for more specific knowledge at the other great resources online, for example the in-depth module demos of Raul's World of Synths and ben_hex/DivKid and of course the many threads in this very community.
Also, make sure to create an account on modulargrid.net, to easily plan your modular synth and get a basic overview of space requirements and power consumption. Please also check the modules' manuals before you commit to buying them, because while the information on modulargrid is solid, there is no guarantee that it's correct, especially for power requirements.
If there is something you'd like me to cover, let me know and I'll see what I can do. Also, feel free to post your questions and comments about the videos and their contents
