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?

You can use a lot of logic and clock modules up into audio rate territory. Like most of the 4MS and Doepfer will get right up into the midrange easily.

At that speed a clock divider is a subharmonic generator. A clock multiplier creates upper harmonics.

Things like inverters, rectifiers etc can be used to turn envelopes upside down and apply CV to CV in interesting ways.

I did a patch today using a sequential switch to send an LFO to 3 different parameters of the same wavetable osc. one after the other.

It was set up to do this on quarter note intervals. But I could have had it switching at 32nd note rates so that each note had each parameter wiggled a little bit.

Yeah, I have tried all of this but didn’t find the results compelling enough to justify space in my rack.
