I am wanting to buy a Modular Synthesizer. I can't decide between a Deopfer A-100 or a Synthesizers.com. I have done a lot of research on both but still can't decide. What do you think is better and why? Spencer Lubbock, TX

Normal fuses (here referred to as FAST BLO are safer. They go quickly - so if something serious happens chances are the fuse will go beforew the spike or whatever it is that's serging through the systems doesn't do damage for those short moments before the slo blo blows. My sugge

The fuses are not ordinary 13-amp plug types, but special 'time-lag' ones time lag = SLO BLO = slow blow fuses. You can get these at any electronics store. In the US most hardware srtores will sell them as well.

Hi all, Some may be interested in an alternative to the moving coil school of thought on VU meters. Velleman make a nice kit (= soldering involved) of a twin 10-LED VU meter. (Velleman kit no. is K4305: www.maplin.co.uk part no. is VF91Y.) Fits really nicely behind a suitably-dri

I just picked up an A-151 because of Milton, a 16 x 4 voltage controlled sequencer I'm designing so I can construct these humungus 32, 48 and even 64 step sequences. Kewl. Not thinking about it clearly enough when I bought it, I figured I would just use the NEXT step of the A-151

Thanks for posting that. Definitely some interesting timbral changes from simple rectangular waves to more exotic stuff -- I like the way the various octaves come in and out, particularly interesting with combinations of low pitches and high, apparently non-octave harmonics. The

I hope this isn't some kind of heresy, but I happen to really like the distinctive sound of the Curtis-chip A-111s, which for me is a big part of the Doepfer character -- not that there would be anything wrong with an all-discrete A-111 by any means -- I just happen to really lik

Hi!! Thanks everyone! Your comments have been amazingly helpful. I've ordered some jacks from Cliff Components. Hopefully I can kick this project into high gear. :-) I'm going to use ExpressPCB to do the PCB board, and I may use http://www.frontpanelexpress.com/ to make the front

All the jacks I've looked at on Doepfer modules are Switching types, though the switching function is seldom used. They use this type of jack because it has more legs to go through the PCB (stability and strength), six instead of three. Most of the modules have traces bridging ac

Hi James, Sorry for correcting you, but I thought I'd clarify a few of your comments, so that confusion doesn't arise... The jacks only have 4 pins (and not six). None of the modules (some 40 or so different types) I have are doubled sided PCBs - they all only have copper tracks

Hi ps Welcome to the group. I tried your proposed setup - A185 bus access module patched to an A180 multiples, and from there to three VCOs (de-normaled from the system bus). It stayed in tune with a reference pitch. Without the A185 it didn't work. I also tried it with an A170 s
