the a-124 is one of my favourites, but then, hey, i like wasps (3 of them at present) with a fast lfo modulating the cutoff point, any drum hits running through the filter get transofmed. my recent favourite has been using the sy02 on the hats and the a-124 on the toms.. i dont l

I think the A106 sounds pretty good. It can sound thin and tinny, but it also get's plenty fat and weighty. The A106 can also sound downright crazy and untameable. I imagine the vactrol filters sound pretty hefty as well. Bryan

Hi fellas. Maybe I should say hi again to the ones who remember me from last year. Since then I have invested in some non doepfer filter units. 1 Allen & Heath VF-1 (stereo valve filter with midi+env.follower+1LFO) 2 Analogue systems FB3 MkII - triple filterbank with master VCF f

I've had a not-quite full G6 rack for a couple of months now (thanks Julian for the start!) and I'm pondering how to fill the remaining space or maybe swap out a couple of modules for the next rack (addictive this!) The current complement is: A-185 Bus Access A-110 VCO x 3 A-119

Hello Dennis, These opinions are ususally given by people who have only heard the first A-100 filters (A-120 & A-121). Although myself I still like the A-121, I think that there are now some really, really superior VCFs available from Doepfer: A-101-1/2, A-105, A-106, A-108, A-12

Hi Dennis, I avoided Doepfer because I thought the filters sounded too clean, but that changed last year after some new models were introduced. The A101-1 Steiner/Vactrol VCF is fat and warm, so is the A 106 MS20 vcf. Those are my faves and I'm sure there are others worth looking

hello there. i have heard mixed reports about the a100. i have read good reviews, but some people i talked to after i decided to buy one said that he didnt like the filters much less anything else because he said they sounded cheap and "tinny". i was wondering if i could get some
2006-01-16 by Dieter Doepfer
The contract with our foreign representatives does not allow that we supply customers directly in the country in question. Only if EMIS agrees we are allowed to send the module directly to you. And you have to consider the shipment charges that are probably much higher than for b

My stockist EMISmusic here in the UK, doesn't have any A-137's in stock, and won't get any for another month, is there anyway Doepfer could hurry up supply to them, so i can get one quick? Dieter plz :) Regards, A1k

List, I managed to get the correct sounds responding to midi. Excellent. I am now beginning my analog voyage!!! fantastic!!! Thanks for your help!

Thanks Dave. I think just the basic patching is needed to be understood at this point. I will review the past messages and take that home with me tonight and have another go. > A similar question arose last week. > > Chances are you just have the initial gain on the VCA turned up
2006-01-12 by Julian
The adsr gives a slow (or quick) gradient from the binary 'on-off' gate pulse. This gradient is represented clearly by the adsr's led. So long as thats blinking, or fading, on and off, then its fairly safe to assume its all fine untill that point. Hey, feeding the output of the a

2006-01-12 by David Salter
A similar question arose last week. Chances are you just have the initial gain on the VCA turned up, therefore the VCA is not closing when the gate signal is released. Check out recent messages for some fuller details. david David Salter Senior Project Manager Reuters Ltd Tel +44
2006-01-12 by Julian
Hi Dan, First up - the busses in the g6 and g3 carry gate and CV too, so thats why the 190 dosnt have to be connected to the 110 in order for the cv signal to get through. If you ever wanted to feed a different cv into the 110, then inserting a jack into the socket on the front b

Hello Group, I have decided to put my mint Schaltwerk for sale. I bought the unit a couple of years ago. The unit is mint shape, from a smoke free studio. It comes with a North American power supply and the manual. The operating system is v1.31. I am using a different set up now

hello dan, i own a few asol modules and i'm happy with them, but ... if i had to choose between asol and doepfer, i would clearly prefer doepfer. their manufacturing quality is higher, the modules have better specs, they are lower in price and one of the most important things, th

For what it's worth, I discovered that I found the full Moog size of the Synthesizers.com modules a terrible nuisance. Connecting modules at opposite sides of my 44-space case with big heavy ¼ patchcords seemed like an unnecessary pain, at least for me. It was like going throu

2006-01-10 by unknown freak
Believe me, it is. In my brief foray into Synthesizers.com I was more than annoyed to find the system so pointlessly underpowered in module range and certain accoutrements - I knew some of this going in, but the experience of actually using it was such as to make me literally emb

I have some Analogue Solutions modules in my system; a couple of drum modules, the SY02 multimode filter and the SQ8 sequencer. Plus side of the these modules. The drum modules I must admit I never use now as I prefer my ER-1 but they are good modules that free up other modules w

"The best modular system ever in production" - I can echo that opinion. My only gripes are that the modules aren't the full MOOG size- but that's hardly a "fault" - it's the way things have generally gone, and the VCO has a selection of ranges, each with a quite small tuning rang

One can only report one's own subjective opinion. My modular has around 30 An.Sol modules and around 15 Doepfer........ I'd bought the An.Sol stuff first...... then I discovered Doepfer..... but we can't turn the clock back can we. The Doepfer pots seem of much higher quality tha

I only have a small number of a.sol modules... One of them has its pcb flexed to fit (best way i can describe it). This is a desing flaw, rather then a 1 off manufacturing defect. The bent circuit, in fairness, dosnt (yet) affect the modules performance, but i dont consider it go

And an additional comment from me: I assume that all the other manufacturers will not be able to compensate the price increase, at least when they change to ROHS compliant production and follow all laws (e.g. the new recycling regulations). E.g. the 3.5 mm sockets used by many ot
2006-01-10 by danfarmer19732003
It will be interesting to see if Analogue solutions here in the uk will follow along with this price increase. Taking into consideration that the doepfer system is the best value for money analog modular around.... When I first heard about the price increase I was tempted at firs

Thanks there.... It was a bit of a shock is all and was unexpected. In the end I purchased some doepfer modules from EMIS. Overall, it did end up costing me about 100 pounds more... but oh well. It IS DOEPFER after all =). thanks for the motivation! > From the Doepfer site: > > M

Don't worry, Terry. This sounds a lot like a well known story about Joe Zawinul: After he got his first ARP 2600 he evidently took the output directly from the VCF rather than after the VCA. He called up ARP product specialist Roger Powell and said "the sound is fantastic. Now ho
2006-01-09 by n keller
From the Doepfer site: Many of our suppliers have increased their prices - some up to 30% and more. Most of the price increases are caused by the ROHS/lead-free directive (ROHS = restriction of hazardous substances). As we are not able to compensate this we have to increase some

I have pointed out already in a message on December 01, 2005 that we cannot compensate the price increases from our suppliers and recommended to order not later than December 31, 2005 to obtain the old prices. In addition we had a note about this issue on our web site since Decem
2006-01-09 by Dieter Doepfer
Please try the basic synthesizer patch: VCO -> VCF -> VCA with VCF and VCA controlled 2 ADSR generator(s). Controlling the CV input of the VCO by the ADSR output is probably not what you not want. It does only change the pitch of the VCO but not the loudness. For this normally a

Here in the UK, the local distrubutor for doepfer says that they've raised the cost of the doepfer modules from January 1, 2006 onwards ( some by 20 pounds!!!! ) because of new EU legislation and that Doepfer themselves were passing the cost onto them.... Can anyone confirm this

2006-01-09 by ben vehorn
You need to put a VCA in the signal path if you want the volume to change. If you just have the CV output of the envelope controlling the CV input of the VCO, you will sweep the pitch of the VCO. If you run the output of the VCO to the signal input of a VCA and the Envelope outpu
