Re: AS/Doepfer module experiences

2002-05-16 by modularcharles

I have a lot of the modules you're considering.  I have to agree with 
another post that the uses of the A-132 aren't necessarily 
overwhelming, at least for me.  Generally something more full-
featured is necessary.  I'd sell you mine without regrets.

The A-116 waveform processor is excellent, I truly love the -24 dB 
highpass filter, and you obviously can't go wrong with the noise 
module.

As for the AS stuff, I have the RS30 follower and its pitch-following 
isn't terribly tight -- its uses are more abstract, e.g. with 
followed unpitched sounds controlling a VCO.  The AS VCOs are truly 
great -- much warmer and fatter than the Doepfer A-111s.  That said, 
they'd be perfect if they had a fine-tune knob and pots for 
attenuating pulse-width CVs.  And I happen to love the sound of the A-
111s.  I want more of both.
