A-100 questions

2002-11-01 by linton_paul

Hi,

Greetings from Canada.

I've been `lurking' here for a while, trying to glean as much from 
the list before I build my own A-100.  :-)

I have a few questions, wondering if you guys can help me out:

I'm wondering about the sonic differences between the A-110 
oscillator and the A-111 "High End" oscillator.  

I know that the A-110 is discrete and the A-111 is using a CEM chip 
and has more CV and FM options.  What I'm wondering about is the 
sound characteristics of the two oscillators.  Does the A-110 
sound "fatter" and the A-111 sound "thinner?"  

If someone could upload a sample of both oscillators, I'd really 
appreciate it.  I haven't been able to find many high-quality audio 
samples of the oscillators and filters online.

Also, the A-112 looks great, but how does it sound?  How easy is it 
to create your own wavetables?

Also, I've been trying to decide if I should get the MAQ 16/3 or if I 
should get an A-155 sequencer module?  Is there anything the A-155 
offers that the MAQ doesn't?  I like the idea of being able to use 
the MAQ for driving the A-100 system plus other CV and MIDI synths.  
Just wondering if the A-155 would offer anything more than the MAQ 
would (specifically driving the A-100)?

Is there an FAQ for these types of questionsÂ…?

Last question:  What's the most under-rated module Doepfer offers?

Thanks!

Paul
