Re: Tips & Tricks / Modifications

2002-01-24 by buechlerjoe

Hi Josef

Florian's suggestions are excellent! I like his categories much better 
than "Tips and Tricks", and I strongly agree that much of the material 
will need further elaboration (not only for hardware modifications but 
for the other categories as well). I also agree that the information 
needs to be collected first, before it can be organized and clarified.

I congratulate you for creating the beginnings of an excellent 
resource, and I congratulate you for soliciting feedback and 
suggestions.

In that spirit, let me say again that suggestions for improvising 
makeshift multiples and makeshift CV sources is fun, but as guidance 
to new A100 users it's bad advice, more like "tricks" than "tips". 
Using high-value modules for mundane utility tasks isn't really that 
clever. Better advice would be to make sure you have enough A180s, and 
to buy the friggin' CV source module if you need to do that kind of 
thing. A basic set of tools is important!

People who are new to modular synthesis have a difficult job designing 
a good A100 module configuration, and need good advice instead of 
tricks. I know, I was one of them not long ago!

Regards

Joe
