Doepfer

I ended up using my A100 as a drum computer in live perfomance.
The hardest part I find is to get this thing to swing. Like it all
works,
generating really interesting percussion-oriented patterns based on 
the LFO. Band-wise this means: Fire the drummer, hire another 
keyboarder ... ,-)
 
But then it often just really is "too straight". Thru some magic, you
sometimes get a cool off-beat effect and there you go on to the more 
jazzy side I prefer most... 
 
Any simple trick? Or any special Module that, for example, let's me
gradually delay every second beat (I sort-of mimic this my syncing
a VCO with my LFO and then add another LFO output to the 
"PW CV1" jack in my VCO, but it doesn't give me enough control...)
 
Thanks,
 
- Sebastian

Easy trick... no I don't think so. It is probably most possible to get your
seqencer from an 155 and a few other modules together, but not easiely done
I guess. I once proposed that timing offset should be added to the note
steps in any doepfer module or seqencer box, but as usual I am talking to a
wall. That was five years back or so... I wonder if Doepfer responds to user
wishes and then how many of us will it take or perhaps "whom of us"? To me
it seems like they spawn an idea at doepfer and just test it on us to find
out if we dislike it, don't really care of if enough of us are exited about
it rather than actually take a suggestion from the outside.

My way of doin what you want is midi and a cheapo sequencer(no werk box).

You could do it with a combination
of A-160, A-161, and A-162 modules.
In fact making drum patterns from
A-160 and A-161 is rather easy. You
would use the A-162 to add the swing.
How you use the triggers output is 
matter of taste.  Of course, I'm
sure there are other ways to do this.

Good luck,

Ethan

This I had in mind suggesting a VCLFO. If you going to add further 
modules consider 2 A142 to build a voltage controlled trigger delay. 
That's what I `m going for in the future. This will also add two VC 
decay envelopes which add to a more vivid sound, too.

You could also use the VC Slew Limiter and VC Switch to make a VC 
Trigger Delay, controlled by an LFO or something.

I definitely think there should be a voltage-controlled version of the 
A162, though.
