Re: [Doepfer_a100] Re: Possible A-110 mod for better sinewaves?

got it...
   
  i've tried doing additive on my nord micromod but everything always sounds like a bad organ...

          The point is making the jack labeled "Sine" on your oscillators to 
actually produce something that sounds and looks like a sine wave.

There is way too much distortion in those dome-shaped Doepfer waves 
to use them in additive patches and that dome-shape usually sounds 
too synthetic as general modulators (real sine function behaviors 
are *very* common in nature).

I don't have any use for yet another triangle sounding wave on my 
oscillators ;-)
