the a101/2 has a different sound than the buchla lowpass gate,
but that doesn't mean that the a101/2 is not good.
it doesn't have that "ringing" decay when it is
triggered with short pulses, so it cannot create those
subotnik-like plings and plongs, but nevertheless
it is one of my favorite audio vca's. i find it a bit
strange that some users blame the a101/2 for not sounding
like a buchla. it isn't a buchla and it doesn't want to
be a buchla. it is a doepfer with its very own features and
therefore has its own sound.

there should be some places, but i'm not sure if the
data is still online anywhere. i believe that
analogue haven had a page for user modifications.
