I was able to get into modular in college with the synthesizers.com monthly payment plan. Each installment you paid, they mailed another module. They start you out with a few modules and a rack with a power supply mounted for you. The whole plan together gave you a bit of a deal on the cost.

It doesn’t look like they offer that anymore, but you could still do the same thing yourself. If I was starting over, I’d probably do eurorack, that seems to be where all the modern innovation is.
