:-) there are no rules what is wrong or right. A modular is an open system. I am using an A100 and REAKTOR parallel. Think different. Try out any connection and you will discover interesting new sounds.You are at the beginning. Try out some patches with only a few modules. Change the patch to a very different sound. Then think about a combination of these sounds. That's interesting patching. You will know which newer modules you need to combine these sounds. Filters are only one of several possibilities to get interesting sounds but a filter can put out the original sound as maximum (without distortion). So the main point is to have an interesting input signal for the filters. Interesting sound you get f.i. by hard synchronisation of two oscillators which are modulated by an ADSR at PM input (A111). ciao herw and happy patching --- In Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.com, "techmaster242" <techmaster@...> wrote: > > Do you generally patch a filter in after you bring all of your stuff > down to one signal?
