Planning New System.

Planning New System.

2012-11-13 by isoldeandisobelle

Hi,

I am planning on building this system - 

[IMG]http://i50.tinypic.com/2sb9941.jpg[/IMG]

Can anyone offer any advice/suggestions to whether this is a practical choice of modules - I was perhaps thinking I would not need the 3 VCO's with the Sub Harmonic Generator and perhaps I should include another VCA.....any help much appreciated.

looks fun! yes.. lots of osc modules.. maby skip one a-110 and get a
springreverb or any other effect like module?
what are you planning on sequence with?

Thank you very much.

It is mainly drone based music that I make, so slow and gradual modulation is what I am after, although I am really hoping Santa brings me a Dark Time.

Thank you, that is good advice - looks like I will have to lose at least one of the A-180's.

One advice: Take out the A116 waveform processor. That one is not so
impressive. For drone music you are better served with using the A137-1
wave multiplier. /Just my 2 cents
I have owned an A116 and still own a A137-1 (with great pleasure!).

All the best,

Ernst

Hi,
If I may add. The A-107 is nice however won't give you too much versatility
sound wise. Instead I'd go for a combo of A-124 and A-108 or A-106-6 (if
you insist on Oberheim xpander type filter). That way you can keep the mult
regarding space too :-)
Best wishes
Jakob

yes, the A137 is a fantastic wavefolder, totally recommended!

I own both A-116 and A-137-1, and I deeply agree with Ernst: A-137-1 is really an impressive waveshaper, especially before an H.P. filtering ation.
This doesn't mean that A-116 isn't useful: I still get great pleasure with it, but if you have to choose between 2 waveshapers ... probably A-137-1 is the right choice!

that's why i also have a A116 in my modular system.    :-)

but, if i had to only have one, i would go for the A137, for sure of course.

Thank you for the replies.

I already have the A-107, which I bought for the morphing ability (wish the transition was a bit longer, but 10 seconds is fine.) I do plan to construct another smaller case to house filters in the future.

Re: Planning New System.

2012-11-14 by isoldeandisobelle

Hi,

The reason I chose two A-145's was that I had one already and I prefer the slower cyclic speed of this module.
Considering every-bodies useful replies, it seems I need to maybe reconsider my choices.

Thank you.

Re: [Doepfer_a100] Planning New System.

2012-11-14 by Florian Anwander

Hello

basically a very nice concept.

Is there a reason why you choose two A-145 instead of one A-143-3 with 
four LFOs?

Drop at least one multiples and replace it with an inverter A-175 (now 
you get the falling ramp from the A-143-3)

Replace the A-131 with an A-132-3 (two VCOs instead of one).

A116 -> A137-2 as mentioned already

Drop one 110

If you free space using a different filter module, then get a second mixer.
