a-190 probs

2005-10-16 by Jonathan Heslop

Hi, my first post. I bought a Doepfer A-100 from ebay a week or so ago. It finally arrived yesterday and I have had fun fiddling with it. I'm suprised at how easy it is to use, I have come up with a few sounds I quite like. I did spend the first hour scratching my head as to why

New Module(s) Suggestion

2005-10-14 by Zoran Bosnjak

Hello all, why not creating digital effects modules? Something like modular equivalent of Ensoniq DP4 (it had CV control beside digital/MIDI control). But all effects should be separate modules. OK, I know - market has many alternatives, and maybe this is not such a great idea...

I would definitely prefer the internal VCO to be 1V/oct. There's nothing to stop the unit having an external clk input and use whatever is available for the more experimental sounds. I suppose it's also possible to do it the other way round, use an existing VCO and the external s

the benefit of having an 1v/oct response is also that it is easier to set up an external filter for the bbd, if you want to get rid of the clock noise. i don't know what i'd prefer for the bbd, i'm fine with both solutions. but it is for sure important that the digital delay will
