OK, so here is my (relatively) straightforward mod to the A-155 to allow for permanent Trig and CV outputs to turn it into a simple 16- step sequencer, thus removing the need for external modules A-160 and A-150, as shown in Fig 6 in the manual. I deliberately don't want to be to

Well, Eventually, you will indeed want them both ... If I were to set a priority (in retrospect), I would get the A-101-1 first. I find the control range of the volume input pots more practical for my taste of sounds. ( I have just ordered my 2nd A-101-1 and my 3rd A-106-1, so it

Right, I noticed this as well. Does anyone have an explanation for this ? Would it be possible to "boost" the resonance by inserting some amplification in the feedback loop ? -- "polygen01" wrote: > To make it sound like my MS20 i keep the input volume down to about > 25%...

Hi although i have not heard the steiner filter you should take into consideration that, being a vactrol filter, it is not suited for FM work due to the slower response of the vactrols. maybe this helps deciding which one to get first? m Am 14.03.2005 um 18:47 schrieb gargar1974:

hello gino, i did some comparisons with the a106 prototype and an ms20 months ago. i'd say that they are near relatives, but the a106 is not an exact clone. and that is good, because the a106 offers a much wider variety of sounds. the a106 can produce sounds which cannot be done

Hi Paul, This should be quite easy to do: the divided-down clock signal is actually already available in the A-155, as an unused pin (on the CD4024 on the 'controller board'), so you don't need to replicate the A-160; then you'd just need to replicate the A-150, which could be do
