I would also say that band pass filters would be much more interesting than low-pass filters. On the other hand, if this is a final output mixer, then there would certainly be times when one would want unfiltered output. With the space between the columns of knobs on the new vers

Robert, I guess probably at first A100 was not thought maybe as an instrument to use as Live INstrument, maybe I'm wrong, maybe Dieter can correct me... so maybe thats why,, nowadays, it seems to lack some modules designed in that sense... also I just wanted to correct something

Well... it seems there are two approachs with really different desires either you see A100 as a studio/recording machine... or as an instrument to use either live or also in studio but as playing it, not only for generating sounds. personnaly, I use it both ways... so I'm pretty

Like the others, I like the second version. I also agree that a bandpass version would also be very nice. As for the possibility of VC of the resonance, I could loose the mute switches and replace them with a Q CV input. -JH On May 7, 2007, at 1:44 AM, hardware@doepfer.de wrote:
