Doepfer

Hello list
I've been using doepfer for about three years (only!)
I bought one box and I have nearly second full
but more and more I am feeling distant with new modules.
maybe SOU interests me but for others it seems to go more and more
into complications which I feel si more about the "craze" of doepfer 
than also understand this machine as a live electronic instrument. I 
still think that modules like manual gate or other kind of practical 
functionning and manipulation oriented modules are badly badly 
missing. I know it seems stupid, because maybe I am really alone here 
with this idea of using A100 as a live playable instrument and not 
only as a furniture in my room or studio, and therefore maybe I am 
really the only to need modules such as manual gate.
Hhhhmmm, I dont know really, I am a bit nervous now.
what do you think, list, bakkis, dieter....?
Thanks
Alexandre
