Doepfer

Just zoomed in on modular planner(no real purpose) and found out a new
system I didn't know about. Anybody own a synthesizers.com thing? It looks
very solid... how does it work, sound and so on...

Yah, I think we've learned why cuari is selling off A100 modules :-0

Actually, Joe, I used to own a Synthesizers.com system (also known as 
Arrick), consisting of 4 vco's, 1 filter, 2 vca's, 4 EG's, 4 mixers 
and a Ringmod, and sold it off. On the other hand, I still own (and 
cherish) a huge Doepfer system: 17 vco's, 16 filters, 18 EG's, etc.. 
The Arrick is very pretty, almost identical to old modular Moogs, and 
is fairly priced. However, it's way too bulky (not necessarily a 
problem, though). The only reason I've trimmed down my studio is, 
basically, MONEY. I owe some to the IRS. Fortunately, I'm currently 
at a point where I don't need to sell anything else. I still own a 
massive Synthtech MOTM system (check out their website.Now this is 
ONE SOLID MODULAR, people!!), with 8 vco's, 8 EG's, 10 filters, 5 
vca's, etc. I also have a small (3 panel) Serge system. Bottom line, 
I have plenty to keep me happy. I don't think I'll ever purchase 
Arrick stuff ever again, not because they make a bad product, but 
because I already own TOO MUCH, and, the more you own, the more 
complicated and less enjoyable it becomes. The Doepfer is wonderful, 
and will always be the one that I play the most. Now, the one that 
will outlast the rest is, without a doubt, the MOTM.

I believe indeed Synthesizers.com *is* very solid.  It has a lot of
devotees.

There's a yahoo forum for Synthesizers.com whose archives contain a lot
of first-hand answers to your question and where you can ask questions. 
It's a very devoted group of users who tend to act like the cat that got
the canary.

I'm curious -- I'd love to know why the Doepfer is the modular you 
play the most.  More interesting and efficient set of modules you've 
assembled in that particular instrument?  Other reasons?
