Doepfer

Thanks for all the replies.

I guess I figured the RS-120 would be more about fidelity and the A-
188 would be more about experimentation. I guess it's horses for 
courses. I'll probably end up going for a A-188. 

Does anybody have experience with the the A-188-2. Would I be as well 
to get that rather than an A-188-1 with a set number of stages. 

Also does anybody have any suggestion for a good VCA. The A-131 VCA is 
good but can be a little noisy. 

thanks

Ken
