hello thomas, more recommendations for wierd/unusual noise producing modules: a117 digital noise a118 noise/random a136 distortion/waveshaper a137 wavemultiplier a127 frequency shifter a107 morphing filter a101-3 modular vactrol phaser a199 spring reverb a196 pll a155 sequencer in combination with a196 pll and a110 vco for graphic vco sounds. bakis. --- Julian <julian@22host24.com> wrote: > I actually suspect that the umber of people who > start with the BS1 and BS2 are relativly few.
