Doepfer

Oh, and for clarity, the reason I have modular-lust is that I fell in 
love with my timewArp2600 emulator (especially the sine-wave ring-mod 
sounds), and realised that fiddling about with wires was far more 
tactile and satisfying than altering virtual knobs on soft-synths. 

That led me to an Andromeda A6, and find it's wonderful for pads and 
big background sounds (does a lovely emulation of a CS80), but really 
not all that hot on the ringy, weird overtone sounds I loved on the 
Arp... and it lacks wires, or course. :-)

As you can imagine, the noisy, buzzy quality the A-110 seems to 
exhibit isn't necessarily the sort of thing I'm going for. Sines - 
while classically considered useless in subtractive synthesis - are 
really the very best things to use in ring-mod if you're after 
getting those 1950s sci-fi sounds (as I am). However, space is a 
prime consideration for me. If anyone has any 110/111 + 114 (ring-
mod) samples, I'd be really grateful!
