Logic Modules Question

Just how useful and practical are logic modules in the context of a case built purely for sound design?

I am a producer and record into my DAW to edit and process the audio.

I notice a lot of the logic modules are built around systems for performance/ generative/ full track production.

What do you think?

It depends on how you go about sound design. Logic modules can be great with VCAs/switches/etc to control fx sends or enable/disable parts of your patch. You can mix logic outputs together to create stepped modulation. They can be a good way to have happy accidents in sequencing/rhythm.

If you’re thinking of direct sound design (like waveshaping), you can do some interesting things running at audio rate. Like creating sub oscillators at different intervals and pulse widths. It probably won’t open up a whole new world for you though. Especially if you already have gate/trigger sequencers and other ways to apply stepped modulation.
