Doepfer

Hi Roel!

Of course, with the G2 out in every store by now, there´s always the Nord 
Modular mk1 which is down at really low price levels now, has incredible 
capabilities (erm... it´s modular..), sounds reasonably fat... shame you 
only get two ocatves to play with... but if you wanna go experimental with 
12 oscillators per voice, 9 24dB lowpass filters coupled in a row controlled 
by another 17 LFO´s and random generators or what have you... not to forget 
the four morph groups which, with one knob, can handle 25 parameters at a 
time... outside the Doepfer/analogue domain this one is a bargain and a 
beast! And you get plenty of knobs whose functions you can set up for 
yourself! And edit everything you´d like detatched from the computer! Around 
500€ here in Sweden...

Well, just my 2 kronors worth..

/Anders
