Hi folks! I have the beginnings of a Doepfer modular system for sale or trade. I was planning on building a large system but just recently got a deal I couldn't refuse on a vintage modular, so I am selling the doepfer off to help finance that purchase. Anyway, here is what I have

Hi John, I'd be very interested in hearing the effect of the Waveform Processor on a single sawtooth input. Thanks! I know this is a tall order, trying to cram a synth into such a small space. I did look at the Analogue Solutions MiniModular stuff online, and it is still a conten

Also another though... Not sure where you live but the UK importer for doepfer (Emis) sells analogue solutions modules with doepfer power connectors, ready to put straight into a doepfer rack. They fit perfect too as I have them inside same rack next to doepfer modules. John ---

Hi Jamie, If you're looking for droning (correct?) style synth then forget the Waveform processor, it is far too subtle! The audio divider is defenetly a good buy, really fattens up the oscillators, gives the sound of 4 oscs, very nice. I would also recommend the VC Freq Divider

It will be a simple test to use the tuner again, with one VCO, without the multiples. That will answer the question. A voltmeter measurement of the raw CV, and then the CV patched thru an A180 multiples, is also quite revealing, even if the voltage isn't "split" Joe --- In Doepfe

I don't remember off hand, but it's a pretty serious tuning difference. I thought that the drop in voltage caused by using multiples was enough to make a difference in tuning across a range, but not the same difference across the board. I'll check that out when I get home tonight

hi list, the diode filter has a "strange" resonance response by default!if you read the doepfer a102 webpage ,you will see that this module has a resonance and filter cut-off that are not independent!!so,the fcutoff and the res. settings affect each other! so,it is normal! bakis.

Hi Self oscillate, I don't have one of these, but from it's description I'd guess the audio input gets split into two paths: one through an amplifier and filter for the treble boost, and then out; the other presumably splits off after the treble boost to go through another filter
