I disagree with Sean a little bit. But I agree with Synth Freak. The reason you are asking to get advice on modules you want shows that you don't know what you want. I guess that's a problem in itself, but there are some basic modules that anyone will benefit from having. On Sat,

I think that's a good way to put it. I understand what I have pretty well, I'm not totally new to how synthesis works. I've worked with virtual analog for quite a few years now, but this is my first real venture into true analog, and don't get me wrong, I definitely think my modu

That's not what sync is for. First of all, sync only gives you one ratio: 1:1. Secondly, you can't modulate the VCO that is sending the sync. Thirdly, if the two VCOs in sync are not in tune, you get the classic sync growl sound which can sound pretty ugly at times, completely un

no, the modulator and carrier do not have to be 'in tune', unless you only want a specific range of linear fm sounds. in linear fm, the modulator and carrier can still not be in tune and yet produce musical sounds. Bakis Sirros - Parallel Worlds / Interconnected / Memory Geist [D

You can definitely create new harmonics syncing VCOs and routing them all crazy places, but I just can't seem to get a FM-type sound... like I have to use a filter to reduce harmonics instead of reducing a modulation. On Fri, Oct 24, 2008 at 4:40 PM, Chris Jones wrote: > I know o

I'm sure you have tried PWM on the a110 ?A slight bit of PWM always fattens any oscillator up. I would also get some more modulation sources. An A147 is nice because they have VC for the frequency setting. And my pesonal favourite modulation source is the A149-1 great for semi-ra

I think you need a ringmod. Do the 110's have a FM jack? Maybe at least one better oscillator like Doepfer 111, or PlanB Model 15, or Analogue Systems 95. You can get some low harmonic sounds using FM or a ringmod. Do the 110's have sync? I don't own a 111 or 110, so I don't know

I'd say that you need a deeper sonic palette... Something like: http://www.doepfer.de/A137.htm That's a pretty nice module to get some way serious harmonics happening. The A-115 is nice, it'll help with the sub-bass stuff, but the net result is a square wave which isn't all that
