Hello!

I cant´t find any sound examples of the vactrol multimode and low pass gate. 
I can´t decide whether I should buy 1 Steiner multitype module or 2 Low pass 
gates. Anyone have links for A 101:s mp3:s?
Right know I believe that second choice will gain most fun, and of course it 
serves stereo applications, which is important to me because I´m more into 
performance than programming-composing.

I have decided to leave all thoughts of additional filters, including 
waspfilter which was initially on the list. This is because of my leaking 
economy, and that I have 2 stereo-filters and 1 mono-filter already from 
other manufacturers. (Allen&Heath, Mutronics, Analogue-Systems)

I will soon, maybe very soon, go shopping at thomann. The most important 
purpose of my first mini-system is (as I described some weeks ago) to 
achieve a "channel swapper", 2 sources X-fading between two outputs 
(left-right) - panning with inverted phase relations, so that both appear at 
both outputs in a mix when cv-source is in the mid pos. Increasing the ampl. 
of cv (probably lfo) should make them start swapping, and in the max voltage 
they are increasingly lonesome / separated at left and right, swapping.

I wouldn´t mind this function to be realized in one single module some day, 
but someone argued against this idea, saying it´s too single-purposed and 
putting all the modules that this demands using the existing a100:s, 
separated, will make the system more versatile. Well, I will soon find out, 
and it´s quite obvious that there are advantages with this. In all other 
aspects than rack space and money expence...

But another point of view (contra. the multi-module / single purpose 
argument) comes to my mind; The stereo channel swap-module could be seen as 
the origin of panning, and the common panners are just stereo-tremelos with 
inverted VC for left and right. So if you want to do that with the "urban" 
panner that I fantasize of, you will easily manage by just removing/muting 
one input. Soon to realize you want it back I suspect.

So, today my preliminary shopping cart contains:

1x Netzteil ´
1x Bus plate
2x VC-Panning
2x multiples
1x dual voltage inverter (for various CV:s (my AS filter and Mutator (no 
midi) need that to)

2x vactrol LP gates    ---ALT---   1x vactr.steiner multitype
1x ADSR, (intended for the the LP-gate for percussive triggering)

No LFO? No, I hope for the multiple synced 143-4 to show up, otherwise I 
will stick with the onboard LFO of Kenton PRO solo mkII that I got the other 
week. Hopefully I will penetrate the sysex inferno, and gain some reasonable 
midi-ctrl of the LFO speed and LFO max/min, clock dividing e t c.(((Anyone 
have experience??? Please shout to me very loud because I¨m dying on that 
f--g sysex s--t and Cubase SX Device panels sysex-editors)))

Other reason to stay with just a few modules is to advance after I have some 
experience. (Never met anyone who owns a single synth-module or even a met a 
PC-musician, Im in the dark.. well,at least I live far from the city.


Thanks for your concern!

Martin
