Re: [Doepfer_a100] A129-1/2

2014-12-12 by David Kellett

My mic is an AKG cardioid- the number of which escapes me at the moment. 

But I'm thinking of getting a contact mic to attach to the central heating radiator to get some interesting environmental sounds :-)

No voltage control (I haven't looked at the module so I don't know what it can do) but it sounds fantastic as long as you have a good mic (don't use a 57 or  58, get something like an AT2020). WAY better than microkorg, Korg M3 (built in) and several others I've tried.

The Direface ES3 means I don't need something to boost the mic up to A100 signal strength.  I was using a Waldorf XT as the carrier signal - the polyphony and the ability to get moving, bright sounds made me use the XT for my first experiments. I'm hoping to replace my voice with Shortwave radio sounds - but there is no signal in my studio as it is in the basement. I'm gonna need a very long arial!!
