First modular, looking at A100

2003-04-21 by Harry Martin

Hey list, I've been meaning to get a modular synth for some time now and I'm 
looking at either an A100 or a Wiard. Just a couple of questions. Firstly 
I've got no idea how much I should expect to pay for one of these. If I gave 
a brief list of the kind of setup I was after, someone could give me a rough 
idea of how much I should be looking paying, in GBP?

Secondly, whilst I'm not new to synthesizers as a whole but this will be my 
first properly modular unit, and so any innaccuracies or oversights could 
please be pointed out?

Finally, could someone tell me where I can purchase one from? I'm in 
Nottingham, England.

Right, the kind of system I'd be after would ideally be a 2 VCO unit with a 
single -24db/oct LPF and perhaps a -18db/oct LPF (I'm told these can do good 
303-isms, am I right?), and a VCA, with an ADSR for each. Also I'd like 
either a CV keyboard controller (if such a thing exists), or if not, a 
CV-MIDI interface. I'd also be after a decent ringmod, and maybe a delay 
unit (although I could always buy this seperately.)
An LFO would be also be handy for making some mad filter sweeps....
Obviously I'd also need all power supplies, rack adapters etc...
Oh, and patch cords obviously ;)

Any ideas? Sorry if I've overlooked anything drastically important, rememebr 
you were a knowledgeless goon once ;)

Harry
