The usual according to whom? :^)
Modular synthesis is, in part, 
about experimentation, no?

Seriously, though I like the way
it sounds. I like using the filter 
to modify the timbre after the 
envelope is applied. This approach 
is critical if you set the Q high. If 
the filter is approaching oscillation 
you want that ringing sound to carry 
after the envelope. To do that, you have 
to place the VCF after the VCA. It 
doesn't make much sense in a dry patch, 
however, when using tons of reverb or 
delay, the difference can be experienced 
in ambient effects. 

Cheers!
