Re: [Doepfer_a100] modular synth help for newbie

Hi Michael,
                    I'm in exactly the same boat! try taking a look at Analogue Solutions as well as Doepfer and Analogue Systems they have some set ups that may be interesting to you and all these makers modules are interchangable within the same rack if you prefere one thing over another.

  Subject: [Doepfer_a100] modular synth help for newbie


  Hello, sorry if you've read this in other groups. I've been 
  interested in buying a modular synth for years now 
  and I'm finally starting to look into purchasing one. I've looked at 
  numerous dealers and found doepfer along the way. I know 
  very little about modular synths (can't wait to learn!) so please 
  bear with me. I've always loved the sounds produced my the old EMS 
  Synthi and VCS synths so I'm kind of looking to put together a 
  similar "sounding" synth. Another attraction of the EMS synths 
  (synthi a) is their size...I'd like to be able keep the size down as 
  small as possible, in a case I could carry around relatively easily. 
  I have no real interest in the typical "techno" or beat oriented 
  sounds, I'm looking for noises (not really the typical analog 
  blurbling, more harsh type sounds like the EMS), sound effects, 
  drones, etc... Is it possible to put together a collection of doepfer 
  modules into a system that will serve my interests? I'm assuming that 
  it is possible, I'm just not sure how to go about it. I've been 
  looking at the basic system (w/out midi) yet I'm not sure if this 
  will be the solution for me. I have no interest in a keyboard 
  controller or midi, I really want something like the synthi a or VCS 
  3 (I've looked at the joystick module and was hoping that it might be 
  a comparable solution to the VCS3 joystick). Is there a way to build 
  the system that I'm looking for? Are there any other companies that 
  might be more suitable in helping me find what I'm looking for(Analog 
  Systems were very helpful with ideas utilizing their modules...I'm 
  just looking at my options right now). And finally, I'd like to keep 
  proce below $2000-2500 Thanks 
  for any guidance you can give me.
  Michael Bleming
