I agree with Andreas. I started with the A100 because it was the only cost effective module on the market and had a number of different modules available. Today my A100 is 92 modules strong but is supplemented by RS, Concussor, MOTM, Oakley Soundsystems, Digisound and EFM modules

Hi. I noticed that Bakis, in a recent post, mentioned syncing an A155 to the A190 using the reset output. Since I recently put together a small Doepfer system, I could really use some good advice on how this is done. I have been unable to get any kind of meaningful midi sync: yes

What in intended is that you're still going to need some VCOs , noise/random voltage, a couple mixers, LPF and HPF, some VCAs, ADSRs, LFOs, multiples. By the time you do that, you won't have much space left in your 6U frame if you're trying to keep it about the same size as the b

hello john, for complete/perfect syncing of your a155 to the midiclock you will need the a190!the mcv24 has a clock output but not a reset output that is essentials for syncing the a100 sequencers.(the mcv24 has a start/stop output that i haven't use with any of the a100 modules.
