There is this free book by Allen B. Downey, Think DSP. I haven't read it enough to comment on it. I have, however, read other books by the same author and I do like his writing, explanation and approach, in general.

Nice, I hadn’t looked into building VCV Rack modules but it’s a super fun piece of software - there’s also an iOS port called MiRack, personally I love making music on the iPad so I use that more.
I saw this the other day that lets reuse gen~ code from Max as a VCV module: https://github.com/isabelgk/gen-rack
