Re: [Doepfer_a100] A 157

2019-07-26 by Neil Kagan

Absolutely agree; the priority now seems to be on polyphonic modules rather than finishing the 157 system. I too bought it on the understanding the features would be implemented and the fact I’m a Mac user means updating firmware is a total pain.

I’ve removed mine from my system and selling for the same reason. It’s a shame as I really want to support Doepfer but this, along with all of the modules I was excited about (Chaos, Fluctuating random voltages, Frequency shifter) appear to be on a permanent hold. 

If the 157 is revived, I’d love to use it fully as intended but as of now it’s restricted in its function.

It's been over a year since the last update, I emailed Christian Assal a while ago and he told me it was "on the back burner" this begs the question why was an incomplete set of modules released and I feel I have wasted my money as I could have put the money toward a Malekko Varigate 8+ (which does everything the A 157 can do and then some) Anybody want to buy an A 157 in perfect condition with no rack rash?
