hi kevin, if i was you,i would pick the a108 first of all!it has a wonderfull sound(better than the a120) and an resonance feedback loop for you to insert anything you want.then i would buy the a121.it's a multimode filter,so you'll use its highpass and bandpass and notch outputs a lot! all the other filters(a105 lowpass,a102 lowpass,a122 lowpass,a123 highpass,a127 triple resonator,a128 filterbank, can wait for a latter time...) as for the ms20 filter,i don't see it coming very soon, as doepfer has already released A LOT of filters and now dieter seems to be concetrating on more experimental stuff(hooray for that!). welcome aboard, bakis. --- klstay <kevinstay@earthlink.net> wrote: > Hello all, > > I plan on ordering my first system next week and > would like some > advice.
