Thanks Dieter, That's exactly what I wanted to hear. I have an A-111-5 in my rack, which is similar to the DE 1, imo. Now I can buy a Doepfer DIY-synth and complete it with the very good looking and full of features "XAOC Devices - Karl-Marx-Stadt". Thanks again, have a nice week

Hello As far as I know the DIY synth and the DE2 are quite similar (if not equal). The only difference I find is the clipped Saw at the DE2 @Christian: Your impression that the DE1 is beefier than the DE2 should be caused mainly by the circumstance, that the DE2 uses a exponentia

I don't know if there is an 'ideal' setup. Certainly CP1 seems more stable than the other two, as it locks at harmonics. I think you might find that it is going to be a process of just trying things until it works... One thing I did notice is that you are looking to do a x40 mult
