Vortex Sound Research

Hi. I know most of you design your modulars to act as full workstations without the aid of other hardware. But I have a tiny semimodular system which I usually play with a couple of grooveboxes.

Now, the question is, should I route grooveboxes into the modular system and use the modelling, filter and effects on them? Or do you prefer mixing the modular's output with the groovebox?

Groovebox is an electribe, it can apply effects and modelling to the incoming ext signals. So I doubt if routing electribe into the synth or the synth into electribe. There's also an option to create a feedback loop here and do both.

Any thoughts? Recommendations?
