Doepfer

Thanks for all the info. To be more specific, I'm mainly trying to decide whether I need the 
A-119 or whether I should get another Mixer or VCA( I've only got one of each in my 
planned system so far). I'm planning on incorporating my Moog Voyager into my new 
A100. Also, I have a pre-amp for boosting the signal level of mics, etc so it's sounding like 
the A-119 might not be essential in my first system. 

Thanks again-
Chris
