Doepfer

hello richard,

i own both but haven't done a direct comparison.
for me both modules feel and react quite different, as
they use different techniques to obtain their output
signals. the a149/1 is specialized in generating
cv-signals only, while the blacet is a very flexible
analog/digital noise generator in the first place.
the blacet can also generate similar random cv events
as the a149/1, but the control over the randomness
is different.

best wishes

ingo
