Re: [Doepfer_a100] Re: Novice, some help in module choosing is required

2007-11-29 by Михаил Новиков

Hello!

I don't want to use any digital modulators, I don't like digital sounds.  
And I really want to get into modular synths.

I really like the idea, it is more original than mine. Another poster here  
recomended doing the case by myself, then I can add ring modulator and a  
mixer to the system.

Thank you, Mikhail.
