Best way to get good sounding samples in the A112 is using Zoë's Python script. Convert the sample you want to use to 8 bits on your computer. Use Zoë's script to get it to a format that the A112 can use. And then transfer the result to the A112 using a mididump program. I would

Please refer to page 2 of the A-143-1 user's manual. Fig. 3 shows the trigger behaviour in detail. The A-143-1 can be retriggered only in the decay phase. A new trigger that appears in the attack phase has no effect as the module is already in the attack state. A retrigger would

Well Florian, that was my thought too, but now I still do not know if it is worth buying a A-120. I already have the following filters in my system: A-101-1 / 105 / 106-1 / 106-5 / 106-6 / 108 / 122 / 124 / 127. As the A-108 is also a ladder filter it might be stupid to add a A-1
