Re: polyphonic a100 question

I have given this subject a longh thought and arrived at the follwing 
conclusions:
1) one would need a midi-cv interface wich can assign different 
cv/gate channels from a midi source in a "rotating" fashion. I 
believe that the Doepfer MCV 24 , the old MCV8, the roland mpu101, 
the kenton pro4 and the PAIA 9700 can do this but most of them are 
expensive
2) obviosuly at least 4 oscilators, EG's and VCA's are needed (eg the 
A-135 can serve as a quad vca). One filter could do, but for a full 
polyphonic set-up one would need 4 filters.
So this is going to be quite a costly and complex setup.
Alternatively, I have considered the new A.Sol. RS370 module, which 
offers everything hardwired but the filters, but this is also quite a 
costly option.

Anyway, I would love doepfer to repackage their MCV8 in A-100 format 
to get started on this

Joost
