Hi Bruno, I will give you my review. I have (at this moment) only a system made up of a 6 space and 3 space rack, so it is pretty modest. I will continue to buy Doepfer products for a number of reasons. 1. the wide variety of modules. 2. the fact that he company cares about the u

I agree with Bakis on this one. I own a largish A100 system (100 modules) and a more modest AS system (30 modules) plus some of the larger format expensive modules by MOTM, as well as having had several older systems, Roland, Korg and ARP. The A100 system has a depth and characte

Hi Tom > [...] and though the > Doepfer doesn't sound as "present" as the Synton, [...] The problem for a comparison is, that there is no "Doepfer Vocoder", but some modules, that provide vocoder functions for the complete modular system. If you include other modules (e.g. Highpa
