RE: [Doepfer_a100] Re: received my Cyndustries (euro version) ZerOscillator!

For me the answer is how it sounds. 
 
I confess I'm not super technical but I can tell you that each waveform
of the M15 is rich and smooth sounding in a way unique to it. Add the
morph and a few other functions and it has it it makes it a really nice
VCO.
 
The A111 & A110 have their uses and in my system are still the staple
VCO's for many things but for certain sounds the M15 is my VCO of
choice.

hi. pardon me for resuscitating an older topic. lately i've been
pondering incorporating more "fm" type possibilities into my doepfer
suitcase synth.

would anyone on the list mind detailing the high/low points of the
doepfer high end vco, the plan b model 15 and the zeroscillator?

it is easy to see how the ZO is very crazy and flexible, but it is not
immediately obvious to me what features the plan b m15 offers over the
a111, other than the morph, and since the morph is vactrol controlled,
i conclude that it is therefore not possible use audio signals to
morph wave forms. i don't doubt the many fans of this oscillator, but
what is the big deal? 

what is the lowest frequency available on the m15 and the a111?

it is saddening somewhat that the ZO just went up again in cost. it
would most likely take up too much room in my small synth too.

thx in advance for anyone who contributes info ----- - - - -
