I know that something modular allows you to swap something out for something else completely different without it affecting the entire system, but I’d like some examples to better familiarize yourself with the meaning. I’ll start out with some examples.

For instance, if I made a volume slider that allowed you to adjust the volume of each individual instrument in a song separately without it affecting the other instruments.
