Hi Andreas, Did the mod yesterday evening (connected the cv2 input + pot to the lin fm optional input, AC coupling). The sound is ok but I can't do truly metallic sounds. I wish there was a way to improve it. Hi Florian. I know there is a difference between DX-7 and analog fm. Th

Nice to read you Silas. About big modules, I do agree with you, most of Doepfer modules are thin. A-111-5 wasn't a good example because it's a synth on it's own. The worst examples I have in mind are ZO and AFG. So many features you cannot use all together unless you want to make
