Doepfer

hello list,

last weekend i've received some new modules,
the most interesting are a137, a149/2 and a154.

a137
----
a great module. creates fat sync-like sounds
out of a single triangle/sine waveform.
it is a bit difficult to get a neutral setting,
but who wants that anyway? i tried envelopes
to control several parameter and got very
interesting results. with complex audio such as
drumloops it can be used as a distortion unit
with a very harsh sound. but it is definitely
best to use it with simple waveforms with no or
only few overtones.

a149/2
------
does what it does. my unit triggers with
both a149/1 clock inputs, which is not as described
on the doepfer homepage. i guess that i have one of the
first a149/1, in which only one shift register is used?
the a149/2 is nice for retriggering lfo's, envelopes
and stuff like that.

a154
----
very nice. it was worth the wait, all modes work very well. 
the one-shot mode is cool, i wanted that feature badly.
now i got it, which is great. please note that if you use
two a155 with it, the second a155 won't be controllable
with it's own start-stop-clock-buttons, even when the
a154-function is switched off. no problem for me.
i recommend this module for all a155-users.

i hope to receive the a101/3 this week, i'll write
more when i got this gizmo.

best wishes
