Doepfer

Thanks for taking the time to write your opinion on the modules I 
asked about.
Both sound very interesting, thanks Kevin & duff!

To be honest I'll probably buy both now :-D
I've owned my A-100 since 1996 and still find new sounds while other 
synths have come and gone. Once you own a modular synth its so hard 
to use a pre-patched synth again, so boring!
It doesn't matter how many knobs they put on their synths if it's 
not patchable it's no fun.
Even though I own a Nord Modular the Doepfer is still my favourite 
by a LONG way.
I've finished my 3rd case and just starting building the 4th, so 
many new modules I can't wait to own them!

I think one of the best modules is the A-192 (CV to MIDI), it brings 
everything in the studio together and can make any synth sound good 
(the bassstation can now have 3 lfo's, 3/4 envelopes....ahhh but 
still has an aweful filter :-D
With the A-192 you can control any synths filter using doepfer 
modules, and seq midi synths using the A-155. If you combine the A-
192 with an A-176 (control Voltage Source) you can control paramters 
with knobs (such as digital synths, soundcards, Rebirth).


I'm also a big fan of the A-112 (sampler/wavetable osc), this can 
make sounds like nothing else, soft evolving textures to hard beats.

I'd love to see an osc built around the commodore 64 sound chip!!

Thanks for your time.

Hi Bakis,
I find the best thing is to let cubase send out the clock signal to 
the A-155, then send the gate for the midi synth from cubase. You 
have control of notes from A-155 but midi timing. This also allows 
you to add other midi stuff to the mix too, all kept in time nicely.
If you use the trigger modifier you can sequence synths like the 
Korg MS10 from the A-155, although they're not 1v/octave it can 
still be done.
You can also start it all from an MC202, seq1 controls the 202 
synth, seq2 sends out the gate signal for the A-155. Row1 on A-155 
sequences the A-100, row2 controls the MS10. But no beat, so....
I always patch up a make-shift sequencer using the A-160 and A-161 
modules, this lets you do a simple beat.
If you combine the A-160, A-161 and the A-138 you get a simple note 
sequencer, use 2 A-138's and a A-151 and you can make it 8-step. If 
you're using a A-155 for notes you can use this patch to control 
velocity or VCF CV, but it's easy to run out of envelopes :-D

hello john,

gates too,right??
