Re: Capabilities of the A-100

2006-06-20 by selfoscillate

of course you can create ambient pads with a modular, but you
will often want that pad to be polyphonic and that is not
such an easy task, because you will probably need really a
lot of modules for that. i guess this is the main reason
for the absence of such sound examples. virtual analogue synths
are usually polyphonic, so these are used for pad stuff
more often. but that doesn't mean that it is entirely
impossible to make gorgeous pads with an analogue modular.
