Doepfer

I got the A-107, A-196 and A-111 this past weekend as well.

I simply want to say THANK YOU!

The A-107's new filters are great! (as well as the more conventional 
ones). Combined with that amp pot they are all right down and dirty 
+ have bags of character. Great thing for the type of muci I am into.
The A-196 is also great. It simply makes the A-100 sound like an 
entirely different synth. I haven't sussed out excatly how it works 
and what it is doing, but when it sounds like that who cares! Just 
crazy, rich sounds that cut right through and stay in tune!

The A-111 was the module I was a bit dissapointed with. I simply 
thought I'd be getting a better sounding VCO at that (higher) price, 
when I only got a few extra features I could do without.
Anyway, the A-111 sounds slightly different than the A-110, but 
unfortunately I can not get the same sound out the A-111 when 
modulating the synced (slave) VCO with a slowish ADSR to get that 
nice sync sweep (ala P5) patch...it simply does not sound as good as 
when using A-110 VCOs only. It's got a stronger output than the A-
110 though, so it is not all bad.

Thanks again Dieter for the lovely modules you are providing us 
with. The latest 12" I've done that involved only Doepfer synth 
sounds (and one MonPoly polyphonic patch) reached #2 in DJMag's 
Beats & Breaks Charts. It's getting air time in UK's BBC Radio 1 and 
Kiss FM (aklong with other smaller stations) and I have had loads of 
people asking me what are those great synths that I've been using 
and whether they can get the same sounds using soft synths...e he he 
he :-)

Peace out.
