Re: [Doepfer_a100] New Module Ideas: Window Comparator

2008-11-02 by achtung_999

My original point was actually that I see a lot of fuss about fancy modules
that process audio.I just wanted to point out that a lot of people seem to
go past the nice use of CV control, imho.
I would like to share my ideas and experiences with you lot, not just keep
it to myself.
I am sometimes using a Micromodular as a fancy Oscillator into the Doepfer.

It's not that I am an analog fundementalist I am just an advocate for the
better use of CV. ;-)
(And an activist to get a better comparator for the Doepfer range... for
that matter, hehehe)

Greetings,

Ernst
