200e

Hi Kai

 my system is like this

225 256 266 259 227
281 292 210 291 281 292
261 261 250 261 261

it is a little unique as it has 5 oscillators.
the 259 responds on the same bus as the first 261
as long as you can live with that , it's nice to have the extra textures
keep in mind you can have more than 4 oscillators , but not more than 4
of the same type

i agree with chris about the 260 ... i think the space can be filled
with something more usefull
i would recommend the 297 over the 260
i have one coming which i will put in my 100 system

personally , i couldn't imagine a full 200e system without 2 281's and 2 292's
they are very very usefull

good luck!
hope this helps a little
joe

 thanks for your help.
 I read the SOS review and anything i could found and I think i am
 ready 4 ordering soon. 
 
 i will try to get the Zeroscillator. :-)
 
 I think my order will be:
 
 256e, 291e, 266e, blank, 227e
 281e, 292e, 210e, 225e, 281e, 292e
 blank, 261e, 250e, 261e, 261e
 
 so i will have 2 spaces for something else :-)
 
 Maybe someone else like to comment the system.
 
 Thanks!
