Doepfer

Hi all,

I am in the process of putting together another 2 rack modular 
suitcase. I have one suitcase already and it's a well spec'd synth. 
plenty of osc's, env's, LFO's, mixer etc.

I want to put together a second suitcase that I'll use for processing 
of external sounds. I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions.

Also on a side note is the RS-120 (analogue systems comb filter) 
similar to a one of the A-188 modules? Is there a big difference 
between a comb filter and a BBD? I am not sure.

Also I would like a good quality VCA. The Doepfer one I am using seems 
a bit noisy. Would anybody have a suggestion for a good quality VCA.

thanks

Ken

The RS-210 comb filter has a much shorter delay than even a 512 BBD
can do, there is a HUGE difference being that the doepfer BBDs are
much more versatile than the comb filter.  The comb filter is a nice
module, but much less versatile.  It's got a nice distinct sound to
me, but is not a BBD replacement.  For Karplus stuff I use a 188-1
512stages and recently added the ASys Echo (I forget the model number
now).  The 188-1 gives you more access to the BBD (like the clock a
second audio input, but overall, the ASys echo will probably slowly
replace the 188-1 as my main Karplus delay module since it is stereo
and I'm doing more stereo sythesis now. If you got the space, the
188-1 and the ASys Echo are great for wacking out sound.  The Doepfer
BBDs are ok for delay, but very gritty, for clean delays I use the
ASys delay.

The Doepfer 132-3 (I think that's the number) is a very nice sounding
VCA that can be used for control signals as well since it's exp and
lin.

I saw that a special MIDI-interface for the vocoder system is planned  
on the doepfer website.

Is this a recent update or is this an old remark?

Looks very interesting and a good practical expansion.

Dieter, has there been any progress with this new module?

The A-192 combined with the new MTV16 interface (or the planned modular
version of the MTV16, so far no A-100 number) can be used for this
application.
