Doepfer

I agree with Andreas. I started with the A100 because it was the only
cost effective module on the market and had a number of different
modules available.
 
Today my A100 is 92 modules strong but is supplemented by RS, Concussor,
MOTM, Oakley Soundsystems, Digisound and EFM modules.
 
Once I was up to nearly 12U of A100 and had started to understand the
concepts of modulars, my appreciation for other companies spec's grew
hence the diversity.
 
The only problem I have with my modular is that I tend not to multi
track record with it, I prefer to have pieces run in real-time, hence
there are never enough modules.
 
Oh well, just have to buy some more : )
 
Regards

	First of all I would advice you to be unfaithful. I feel the
same as Bakis.
	Most brands of modulars have their strenghts and weaknesses. For
most of
	them the weakness is a high price ;) So I would advice you to
mix stuff from
	various brands rather than just sticking to one. I have VCOs
from doepfer
	and A.Sys for one thing. As for Doepfer I would advice you to
pick up a
	a129/3 which is great for many things and not just as a part of
the vocoder,
	then of course the a136 is real special. And futher more I would
go for the
	soon upcoming superfilter a107.
	
	For my own part I began buying Doepfer just beacuse back in -95
I didn't
	know any other alternative for expensive secondhand moogs and
rolands and
	the ever so expensive Serge. Now the case isn't so clear anymore
with analog
	systems, motm, and synthesizer.com (which I might prefer today
if I would
	start all over due to the bigger jacks and general build
quality).
	
	As for shaltwerk I wouldn't go that way myself... The "werks"
are in my
	opinion a bit of a forgotten case of doepfer gear. I think you
will be
	better off with the A155. But by all means don't just take my
advice on that
	one I am more than a bit biased on that part.
