I have a limited budget and wist to get the A100 portable suitcase  
system and will get the dealer to build for me
I will use the A100 via Midi from Logic and Pro Tools
Records I like are Aphex Twin SAW2
                                  GUSGUS Forever
--I would want to use for both basslines and special effects
Any suggestions to make a really good system that is reasonable in price

Also is there any Doepher EMS VCS modules

thanks Dave

Better to have a few really good things that will get me going

Here is what I have in mind and

A-190 Midi to CV
A103 Filter
A106-1 extreme fILTER
A117 Sampler
A135-2 Mixer



i wish to remove modules from standard system I dont need
The standard system
2x Standard VCO A-110

1x Ring Modulator A-114

1x Noise/Random A-118

1x VCF1 A-120 (24dB low pass 1)

1 x logarithmic VCA A-131

1 x logarithmi Mixer A-138b

1 x ADSR A-140

1 x LFO A-145

David,
 
what are you going to be using the system for?
 
If you have filters you will want to be able to modulate them in some
way (envelope or LFO) and have a way out getting amplitude control (VCA
& envelope) for the final out put.

Hi David
For basslines from the midi out of my DAW pro tools and Logic
and also for sound effects --I will use my midi keyboard

I liked the sound that GusGus got on Forever with their A100

cheers David

They have a big A-100 system with about 120 modules. I can make a list but I
assume that this list will contain ~90% of all available A-100 modules. I
remember that they use several joystick modules A-174 (~ 4 or more if I'm
right) for live control. In addition they use dual voltage controlled
crossfaders that were made as a special design for Gusgus. We consider to
release this as a regular A-100 module in 2008 (www.doepfer.de/a1342.htm).
They use this modules mainly in combination with the joystick module A-174
for manual panning of audio and control voltage signals.

Best wishes
Dieter Doepfer

david, 
forgive my ignorance(?) but where is the actual sound coming from??!!!
if you have no occillators in the doepfer system and are sending only midi??
am i missing something??
 
regards
 
will.

David,

The modules you list below describes the mini system (1 row of modules),
except that one also includes the A-190. Only the Basic systems (2 rows of
modules) are available in suitcase versions, so I'm not sure what  standard
system you're talking about.

If you consider getting the mini system I would advice getting it in a
standard size case - you'll quickly discover that you want more than one row
(84TE) of modules, and the price of the larger case isn't much higher
compared to getting a second 3U case later.

As I haven't heard the Gusgus album I haven't a clue as to their sound, but
I can see Dieter already posted that they have a fairly large system, so
don't expect similar results with just a few modules. Don't let that turn
you off modular synthesis, however, as you can still do some very cool stuff
with a small system.

Hi David, many would opt for a 2nd A111 for lin FM and cross modulation.

Hi Will
Thanks but Im a total beginner and got interested in modular systems  
after using a few softsynths---the one I really like is FM8 and I  
have decided to get the Doepfer to compliment it
Im on a budget so here is what I have come with so far
All Doepfer

A100Port case
A103 TB303 clone
A106-1 MS20
A111 VCO with CEM3340

A112 sampler
A135 Mixer
A141 VCADSR
A190 Midi -CV
A143 quad lfo


Are these are a good choice or would it be better to get a second VCO  
as well---anything else I need to get a working system for midi out  
from Pro Tools


thanks Dave

Would anyone recommend the A155  to use with the A190 midi
Is this most popular sequencer for the A100 system
I want something a little different from my sequencer in Pro tools

thanks David

Hi David,

> I want something a little different from my sequencer in Pro tools
The A155 is of course recommendable. But I would recommend definitely 
the A154 as addition. It fixes the "start with step 2"-problem and it 
enables to stack the two 8-step rows to one 16-step sequence.

Florian

You don't need the A-190 to use the A-155, you can just as easily drive the
A-155 from an LFO. But the combination of A-155 and A-190 will let you sync
your sequencing to MIDI. I find the A-155 to be a great tool for
improvisation, and the "twisting knobs and pushing switches" approach to
sequencing let's you do stuff that would never be possible using software.

hi david,
i'd personally have a second vco, i must be one of the many as Ingo suggests, but as i think someone already mentioned, a vca is going to be indispensable, if not particularly exiting.
Deiter has designed an awful lot of useful modules and choosing is always agonising! let us know what you settle on.
 
rgds,
will.

Hi Will
These are the options that I would like to go for in my first Doepfer  
portable suitcase system--prices are US RRP

A-190 midi-cv                  $ 230
EXTRA part for A-190             $22--Doepfer A-100 AD5 +5v adaptor  
board $22
A-115 sequencer                 $375
A-112 sampler                   $230
A-111 VCO CEM 3340              $375
A-109 SIGNAL PROCESS CEM3379    $175 (almost a complete synth-all  
that is needed is Asdr+ VCO)
A-141 ASDR                      $145
A-106 MS20 EXTREME              $160

I think this will be enough parts to be usable?
and I can use the sampler as a second VCO for now until I can afford  
another A-111

I really need this to do three things
1:Produce good bass sound that can be midi--DAW (PT and Logic)
2: A-115 sequencer receive Midi clock from DAW
3: Special effects ---hence A-112 sampler


My favorite synth records--Pink Floyd "On the Run"  +  Aphex Twin  
"SAW Vol II"

cheers Dave

Thanks to all who tiped me on buying this sequencer I really like the  
idea of the twisting knobs and pushing switches  :)

Hi Dave,

I think this is enough for what you need to do. However, some comments
about A106 and A141 :
A106 : I really really love this filter but I think it's not the good
one if you want fat bass growly sound. A106 is (IMHO) nasty, dirty,
aggressive ... Xtreme filter that will really take his sense with
complex/noisy sound inputs (to make them even more complex and noisy
!). But maybe that's what you're looking for and if you like Aphex
twins, you might like this filter ! I don't know how the A109 filter
behaves, maybe it's ok for bass sounds, but maybe you'll prefer to
have a module dedicated to filtering that fits your idea of bass
sounds better than A106.

A141 : A141 is VCADSR, and as you don't have many CV sources in your
system, I think you can save some place and some cash if you take a
simple A140 with time range switch and two outputs.

You'll probably need multiples. So take a couple of A180 or DIY.

> A-115 sequencer                 $375
I think you mean A155 =)

Hope that helps,
Max.
