I do this sort of thing all the time but without the A-155. I use the A-135 or a 4ms VCAMatrix and a A-144 as a controller for them. Less inputs (loops) to control of course but you get a clean fade between the different sources. I typically don't use this technique with drum loo

Hello The A110 and A111 VCOs do have Hard-Sync. But for FM you will prefer the soft sync (it locks on overtones). The A111 does provides it direct (socket 'S-Sync'), the A110 has it prepare internall, but there is no socket on the outside. I added a switch to one o my A110s, so I

James, That would be a similar patch, and I too have the 135/144 combo in my system. What I like about the 155 in this patch is the ease at which you can set up different running modes and pattern lengths, and have voltage control over it all. Plus you can use the trigger rows of

Anoop, Correct, the sequencer only decides which audio signal (one of the 8 beatloops) is heard over the course of one particular step. This is done by running the audio signals THROUGH the sequencer. The A-155 is synced to Ableton by way of my Elektron Machinedrum, on which I cr

I have not seen this feature in the VCO's of Doepfer but old analogue synths had it. It would help improve FM synthesis. Hard synchronising VCO's would be a desirable feature if the phase at which each VCO is at is continuously adjustable (1 to 179 degrees) , before locking it. I

Hi Nick, Wild sounding! If I understand the explanation correctly , the sqncr steps through the Ambleton sync'd beat loops but the sqncr does not know when a beat loop starts or stops, it switches into the loop at any point in the loop and effects make this the actual sound more

Each of these models has features the other does not, so it's difficult to compare. My personal solution to this dilemma was to get both (and a second MAQ). If you must choose only one sequencer, it really depends on how you will work with it (what features you require) and how i
