Hey I was wanting to some of your opinions, on a A-100 configured 
for 2 voices...

4 oscillators, 2 asdrs, 2 vcas, 2 lowpass filters, 1 multimode 
filter, 2 a-190 midi interfaces, 1 lfo, 1 a-136 waveshaper, 1 
noise/random, 1 multiples, 2 vc dividers, and 2 a-138 mixers

Also, what do you guys think of the Shepard generator? Also, does 
antone like the WASP filter and is it true analog? I read something 
about it that said it abused digital inverters......

Thanks

Your configuration seems a bit short in some areas, which is 
strange because you've also included a few exotic modules. I guess 
it all depends on your priorities. I would have skipped the waveshaper 
and vc dividers if it meant that I could only have one adsr per voice.

My preference would be to have two extensive voice configurations and 
no exotics, or maybe one extensive voice and one more smaller voice. 
I'd consider a good voice configuration to consist of 3x VCO, noise, 
ring mod, mixer, HP and LP VCF, 2x VCA, 3x ADSR, 3x LFO plus midi, 
multiples, and a linear mixer. A cut-down voice might consist of 2x 
VCO, mixer, VCF, VCA, 2x ADSR, 1x LFO.

I think the first configuration was better than the "lot of basics
approach..." For the reason that it will produce lots of interessting
timbres and thus he will have much fun and then expand from there. But I
agree on one point there should be one multimode filter per voice so change
it to two times A108(which at the point seems to be the best filter). Cut
the lowpass they are in the multimode anyway, If you feel like it throw in a
VCADSR and an extra LFO and sequential switch(cheap anyway).

Actually as you all know I think it is better to have ONE perfect voice
setup than a 2 or more soso voices configuration from the start. Then you
can add a second with what you have learned it the fist. Or you endup like
me with just one voice and sample it.

We certainly have different ideas about what a perfect voice setup is, 
but I agree 100% on this. It's much better to start with a single 
voice rather than two mediocre voices, especially if you aren't sure 
about your basic voice configuration. 

Build a module configuration that you're happy with, and then start 
thinking about doubling it. No one here can tell anyone what your 
voice configuration should be, personal bias and personal preference 
play such a large role.

Your info helped.... i think it would be better to drop the vc 
dividers and the lowpass filters, and add another oscillator and 
another bandpass filter. That also makes room for another module...

That I and Bakis have a co-op on Vintage synth explorer. Very glad you
filled in the gaps in my original "draft" Bakis. I just wrote a piece cause
I thought the A100 atleast should be in the list. Now looking at the specs
it really looks awesome. Is it that good? =) Perhaps it is... can't wait for
my A190 to appear so I can play some again.
