I spent all day re-organising my modular, and realised that the best way was to create a 'side instrument' in the smaller box- which I thought of like a VCS3, with joystick, poorly tracking oscillators and spring reverb, but without the pin matrix.  The idea is to get me out of my comfort zone and force a different workflow.  I used this box to create a tuned-by-ear drone, which I then played hands-on the synth for filter sweeps, levels, and feedback controlling - things I normally automate (I usually patch the modular to play itself as much as possible, and then play other keyboards over it).
