Doepfer

Hi credo!

I'm no expert here--I'm new to modular synthesis, my Doepfer system is
very small, and I don't have the theremin controller.  I do have the
ribbon though--similar sounds are possible.

Forgive me if I'm explaining too much here, but I'm not sure how
well-versed you are in this stuff.  The Moog theremin isn't a
synthesizer--it generates one kind of wave, a sine, and there's no
filter or any other sound-shaping circuit.  You can think of it as
being more like a trumpet or violin--it's expressive in the hands of
an experienced player, but makes only one very distinctive sound.

Unless I'm missing something here, the Doepfer theremin controller
merely allows you to create cv to control parts of a synthesizer
patch.  It can take the place of, say, a keyboard, in this respect. 
But the Doepfer modular is a SYNTHESIZER--the whole point is being
able to get a huge range of sounds.  You choose your waveforms, shape
them, send them through filters, modulate them, combine them with
other sounds.  This is why it costs a lot more than an Etherwave--it
does more.  It's a different beast entirely.  The theremin controller
merely allows you to CONTROL your sounds the way you would control
sounds on a theremin.  And furthermore, you needn't use the antenna
merely for pitch--you could assign it to other things, I assume...LFO
speed, PWM, filter cutoff, whatever.
