Doepfer

Hi Spencer,

I don't think one company makes a "better" modular than another.  It 
all depends on what you want.  

The A-100 system is relatively easy to understand in a working 
situation and the modules are small so they don't take up a lot of 
space.  Their prices are fairly reasonable and more importantly the 
modules sound good.

I don't have any Synthesizers.com modules but my understanding is 
that they are very similar to the old Moog modules in sound.  They 
are also the "larger" size module so they'll take up more room.  
Price wise they seem to be fairly competitive.

Another company worth checking out is Blacet.  They make a fine array 
of very interesting and unusual modules in the "smaller" size.  
They're a little more fun than the other modules in my system (which 
includes MOTM, Blacet, Doepfer and Paia) because they have more knobs 
and jacks which means you get more control out of each module.  They 
cost a little more than some of the others but they're worth it.  All 
of Blacet's modules are available in kit form so you can can some 
money by building them yourself as well.  ...and no, I don't work for 
them!  :-)

Hope this helps.

Analogue forever,
Michael
