Notated organ music has had the "modular synthesizer" problem for centuries. The solution that organists chose was to just write stuff down in front of the score. It would probably be a lot more clear than any of the suggestions in the article to use a node network and a short text description of the settings of each node. People also need to let go of the idea that written music is about conveying how to create an exact reproduction of the original sound. That's what a recording is for. A musical score conveys the scheme under which to produce sound, and notates the important characteristics of the sound to produce. Everything else is intentionally left up to the performer. If you don't believe that is valuable, you don't need to use it as a tool. However, it allows future musicians to both understand what you were thinking and put their own spin on your work.
