Just recently sold a system1 from analogue systems due to the usual economic reasons. I actually profited a bit on that deal so I couldn't resist. Here comes the doepfer part. The AS RS230 cv buffer is a great addition to the doepfer line or should be. The passive multijacks are useless for cv to tune your vcos since they loose power. In the Analog systems integrator I didn't use that module much but for my doepfer modules it was a godsend since many doepfer modules lacks the gain knobs that almost all AS modules have both for input and outputs. So I advice you all to add just that module to your doepfer gear if you have som rackspace. I also found that sweeping the shape of the saw from rising tooth to falling was very nice and will surely miss that sound now. Doepfer really should make a new High-end VCO with that feature and others like it. ----- Original Message -----

I have three of those AS VCOs and you're right, they're nice. But since the AS VCOs fit the Doepfer frame, what's to prevent Doepfer owners from just dropping the AS VCOs into their systems? No need for Doepfer to replicate them. I also have two A-111s and enjoy their distinctive sound -- no need for AS to make an A-111 clone. The A-111s are definitely more deluxe -- an attenuator for pulse width, hard and soft sync, linear FM, octave switch (even if it doesn't track perfectly), fine tune. AS could stand to emulate some of those features.

For the fact that they don't really match perfectly on the rails and that you need the power convert cables, but you are right they could be fitted in a doepfer rack. But my main gripe here is that the A111 tracks nice but lacks the saw feature. The A110 tracks like a slug on a booze-up and should be discontinued in my opinion. I just hate it, I use mine as a LFO in the higher range. And my the retailer says that the A111 is hard to get in stock due to a shortage of SEMs... > > The A-111s are definitely more deluxe -- an attenuator for pulse width, > hard and soft sync, linear FM, octave switch (even if it doesn't track > perfectly), fine tune.

If someone wants to do something unique, what I actually really miss is the continuously-variable LFO-able ramp-to-narrow-pulse oscillator in my Micromoog. The problem with the variable saw in the AS VCO is the harmonics dropout in the middle of the travel at the triangle wave, which to me sounds less rich and interesting, more like a tremolo, than pulse-width modulation. For me it's more interesting when using the VCO as an LFO, or when modulating with audio-rate frequenciesas a form of mangling, though it's something I could explore more, e.g. for cancellation effects with another VCO. But that Micromoog ramp-to-pulse sound was really beautiful. Blacet's new VCO does a variable square-to-triangle output, which I'd also prefer to saw-to-triangle. Synthesizers.com makes a very solid VCO that's very feature-packed, though without any variable waves. For sheer amenity, one could always add a rack of those.
