RE: [Doepfer_a100] Re: Doepfer alternative controllers

2007-10-12 by David Salter

Hi Adam,
 
For me my combination of joysticks are great some times you want that
momentary change - so use the sprung joystick and then there are times
when you want a small change followed but a further changes a little
later on - use the un sprung joystick.
 
I was thinking at some point that the foot controller module might be
worth investigating as it provides two pedals for adjusting CV and two
switches for triggering sequencers and envelopes.
 
So many possibilities :o)
 
Best wishes

Thanks David, 

Very helpful response. 

I've just ordered the a-198 ribbon controller. I'm intending to use 
it for all sorts of control work, but one of its main uses will be 
for pitch control without a keyboard. I can also see joysticks being 
on my shopping list in the future though!

Regards, 
Adam
