hello john,

i think that your choises, as a sound prossecing
system, are fine.
if i would have to add somthing would be the a137 wave
multiplier.
as for the filter: i really like the a106 xtreme
filter. instead of this , if you do not like the ms20
sound, the a108 is an amazing filter too, as is the
a107(more expensive though) and the a101-1. but for
your first doepfer filter i would reccomend the a108
for warmth, or the a106 for dirty sounds.
a slew limiter would be also useful , if you have the
space.

and i guess you can add many other amazing
modules(a101-3, a107, a196, etc.) in a second case,
later...
best regards,
bakis.
