It really depends on what you consider "proper". Can you get fat bass sounds out of A-111s? Yes. Can you get every sort of bass you've ever fallen in love with out of an A-100 system? Probably not. Everything has its own character. I recently bought an MAM TB33II bass synth, and with its one VCO it has a character of juicy fatness I've never coaxed from my Doepfer. I also recently picked up a Macbeth M3X Minimoog clone, and it too can produce a certain bass character I doubt I'd ever come close to with my Doepfer. If you want certain sounds, sometimes the best and easiest thing is to have the certain synths that can make them as easily as falling off a log. Then again, there's a lot to be said for inventing your own sound completely. --- In Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.com, "nectarios01" <nectariosm@h...> wrote: > First of all let me say that I am very glad to be amongst you > people, and share my love and passion for analog/modular synths. > > I have a small 12U system that is mainly made up of Doepfer modules > and has some Analogue Systems modules on it as well. > > I only have two A-110 VCOs, and when I am laying down basslines for > tunes (www.streetwiserecordings.com/recordings.htm if you want to > check out my A-100 in action, *every* single monophonic synth sound > is my A-100), I find that my single VCO Roland Sh-101 puts my A-100 > to shame when it comes to comparing the bottom end... > Is that because of the Sh-101's CEM3340 based VCO? > Will I get the same phat, tight bottom end if I simply get an A- 111? > Or is it because of that ultrafunky IR3109 VCF that the Sh-101 > sports? > > It would be great if we could have Sh-101's filter on a Doepfer > module... > > > Peace out.
