Doepfer

Hi,

  I also a recent convert to the Wonderful World of Modular 
Analogue Synthesis.  After going through a similar process of 
looking at all the systems, it came down to a choice between 
Doepfer and ASys Minisystems.

  I chose the ASys Minisystem for the reason already mentioned 
in this thread, being in Britain, it worked out as slightly better 
value (this position is of course reversed on Mainland Europe).  
Of the two systems, there are plusses and minuses for each.  It 
might be worth asking this same question on the ASys group.

  I have since expanded with a number of second-hand ASys and 
Doepfer modules.  It appears to me that Doepfer is better value 
at first glance, but you are not always comparing like with like.  
For example, I have the RS80 LFO and the A146 LFO2.  The 
RS80 is a much more versatile beast, but the A146 is cheaper, 
and has an addition feature of positive square wave.  In other 
cases, the equivalent Doepfer module is not only cheaper, but 
(on paper, anyway) better equipped.  The beauty is being able to 
pick and choose.  I shall be buying from both companies for a 
long time to come. 

  All in, both Minisystems offered a great place to start, but you'll 
find yourself hooked almost immediately.  I now check the 
Doepfer and ASys groups, Sound on Sound and Ebay almost 
daily looking for 2nd had modules. 

Have fun,

Stuadh


PS  It is true that you will need an adaptor to use ASys modules 
in a Doepfer case, but this isn't expensive.  The ASys case, 
however comes with 7 slots ready to accept Doepfer modules.
