200e

Does anyone have the 285e Frequency Shifter/Balanced Modulator? Comments? Reviews?

yes I am also interested as this could well be my next purchase.

Its horrible when you get down to 3 spaces and you also want the Kin 
Port :-(

First of all hi to everybody and thanks for letting me join this great forum. 

Yes I'am also thinking about getting the Frequency Shifter / Balanced Modulator with my first setup (which i will hoppfully be able to order at the end of the summer) I allready orderd the ZOe in Buchla format.
So I have been thinking about not getting the filter but instead taking 
the Frequency Shifter (i would use external filtering until i can spend mor money on the filter).
I know thats a tough tecisions and getting some more information on that module would be great.  
So I am asking you what would you rather take.
The Frequency Shifter / Balanced Modulator or the Triple Morphing Filter.

Oh and I'am thinking about this specific setup:

18-panel Powered Cabinet
227e  	 System Interface
Cyndustries ZOe (allready orderd)
261e  	 Complex Waveform Generator
225e  	 MIDI Decoder / Preset Manager
281e  	 Quad Function Generator
292e  	 Quad Dynamics Manager
266e  	 Source of Uncertainty
210e  	 Control and Signal Router
and one more module:  

250e  	 Arbitrary Function Generator
285e  	 Frequency Shifter / Balanced Modulator
291e  	 Triple Morphing Filter
or an other 261e or 259e ( when ther are enough people and Don is start making them again)

is the 225e needed if you are buying the 222e?
Will I need to use the 225e or will the 222e be fine without it...I am 
talking the MIDI side of things.
thanks

congrats on the future purchase. the 200e has turned out to be my fav 
modular synth, i own a Serge, have owned a Livewire,Doepfer etc which is 
also great but the 200e makes you want to play it :-)

You may be waiting a while for the Zoe..it was promised last year...be 
great to see it made soon though....as soon as I see one for sale I will 
be interested.

Well, if you want MIDI and Presets, you'll want the 225e.

as far as i can tell, the 222e doesn't do anything with the midi  
portion of the 225e.

you'll probably want a 225e or a 206e as a preset manager for your  
setups since it takes some time to get your keyboard values entered in.

i don't know if the newest version of the 222e software has the  
standalone preset functionality but v1 definitely doesn't so i lose  
all my work when i power down unless i save with the 225e.

thanks,
