"We discovered that there is much more interest in low-cost modules compared to high-end" I could have told you that! almost nobody is earning much from electronic music these days :) also if i want to spend a lot of money on hi end delay I wouldn't need it it to be in the middle

Hi To my opinion this sound is made by sequenced BBDs. The audiosource is a VCO, which plays constantly the same base note, plus some noise. The tonal sequence is generated by a resonant BBD (vulgo flanger), whose delaytime is controlled by the sequencer. Florian techmaster242 wr

From what I can tell, the 102 is basically identical to the 120 in functionality, obviously the main difference is 102 is diode, and 120 is moog style. What's the difference sonically? Is the 102 harsher sounding? It does more drastic things to the sound than the moog style? ---
