The user noisejazz (s.f.martin@ntlworld.com) did post in late september his
modifications. See the topic "[Doepfer_a100] Doepfer Mods". He did exactly
what you want to do.

You should worry, whether it is worth the money and the time!


Corresponding to the prices, noisejazz gives, a standard module like A120
would cost: 

Faceplate 20UKP
Five good(!) Jacks 8UKP
Five MOTM style knobs 4UKP
Two hours of work 40UKP (this is my special price I offer myself ;-) )


So you are around 80 UKP or 125 EUR. A 4 Row system with around 9 Modules
like a A120 would cost 4500 EUR !!!! Only for Faceplates and buttons !!!


BTW This are 80 hours of work (and I don't know whether the design of the
faceplates is included in noisejazz's calculation). This means: if you have
to do this in your sparetime after job, it will take you months to do this.
