Re: [Doepfer_a100] New Module Ideas: Window Comparator

I understand you are nervous, but I certainly think you should at least look at the harvestman modules for example

the possibilty cv control of digital is a funny little but of history that got missed out because midi and digital got a bit too dominant.

now is certainly the time to develop it - there are plenty of unknown voltage controlled sounds to discover that the nord modulars can't even dream of, and that is surely the point? rather than analogue fundamentalism?

  Yes !!

  I'm sorry, guys, but everytime I see the words "sampler" and "bit 
  rate" and similar coming up in analogue modular talks, my stomach 
  churns a bit. Call me an old fart, and backwards, but there's still so 
  much to do, still so many possibilities with "ordinary" voltage 
  control... I would have no idea what to do with something like a 
  sampler in a modular setup. If I want to slice and dice samples, I've 
  got plenty of perfectly capable software which takes care of that. If 
  I want to have 8-bit sounds, I'll dig up my old Commodore 64.

  Digital certainly has its place in modular synthesis, but please keep 
  it out the audio path (for now). Otherwise I just don't see the point. 
  Might as well just go for a Nord Modular, and have it at that.

  Oh well... </rant>

  Never mind.
