VCO oscillator modulePlaits (Mutable Instruments clone) and Dixie II+ are the community-recommended starting oscillators. Versatile and well-documented.
VCA + envelopeVeils and Stages (or clones) cover voltage-controlled amplitude and envelope shaping. Buy these before exotic modules.
Patch cables (3.5mm)Buy more than you think you need — 10-pack of assorted lengths. Befaco Erthenvar and similar are solid.
Eurorack powered caseMantis and TipTop Mantis/Happy Ending are the value-reputation sweet spots. Power supply headroom matters.
Step sequencer moduleMarbles or Mimetic Digitalis for probability-based; ZAQUENCER or QU-BIT Bloom for deterministic sequences.
