Re: [Doepfer_a100] i have 8K euros for a moduler system. what to buy

2010-04-11 by Richard Scott

as its stands its kind of a crazy question. What music are you 
interested in making? what kind of sounds? How do you imagine 
controlling it - sequencing, keyboard, touch response? Do you need 
polyphony, portability? external processing? Are you coming to this 
fresh or building on an existing experience/ current setup? tell us 
more... If I was coming to it completely fresh then 8k worth of euro 
modules all at once would be utterly confusing!

my advice is to start small and see what you like - many of us end up 
selling a lot of what we start out with - I know when i started out I 
bought loads of shit I really didn't need and didn't know how to use - 
plus I missed some vital things I didn't know I needed - like a lot of 
attenuators and VCAs

with that kind of money I would also think about buying a buchla or a 
serge, or a VCS3 plus a nice little euro system -  but it depends 
entirely on what floats your boat and what you want to do with it.
