Re: [Doepfer_a100] a102 / rs500e examples

2005-10-17 by Bakis Sirros

hello ingo,
your work with all these audio clips is totaly great
and very detailed! thank you for your great help!
one remark though: the characteristic sound of the ems
vcs3 and therefore of the rs500e, is the slow response
of the vcs3 filter to the filter cutoff cv. so, the
examples of the rs500e should have been made with the
cv response switch to "SLOW" as this is the original
vcs3 setting. this slow cv response creates the
characteristic "bublish" sound of the vcs3.
thank you very much,     :-)
best regards,
bakis.
