Doepfer

I'm considering adding an A-135 VC Mixer to my system.
Has anyone used these in combination with the A-144 Morphing Controller or
by itself? 
Is it really worth the space it takes up, and what exactly does the A-144
add?
Is it possible to "crossfade" different signals, and do this voltage
controlled, without the A-144?

I guess it's either the VC Mixer, or I'm adding an A-134 VC Panner to my
system, to crossfade/vc mix between two channels instead of four...

Also, my apologies to Mr. Stinchcombe for not replying to his questions and
remarks about doubling frequencies with a Ring Modulator. It works okay with
lower frequencies, but I still can't turn 8kHz into 16kHz with this setup
(which is kind of what I was looking to do, extending the limited range of
the A-110 with the A-114).

Many thanks!

I was ULTRA excited about the vc mixer and morphing controller when I 
ordered my doepfer, but after having used it I'm not so excited about 
it any more. I've been considering pulling out the a-144 and 
replacing it with something more usefull like slew or another eg.

the problem that I have with the morphing controller is that the 
crossfades aren't really crossfades. And when you get them to sound 
alright it's not that impressive anyway. Now if you were to use the 
morphing controller to generate 4 voltages to control things like 
filters that might be neat, but I haven't tried it yet (cause I just 
thought of it, thanks for the chance to ramble on!). 

On the other hand I do use the mixer alot, just not the cv part of it 
really. But all that being said, I do have a pretty nice pad set up 
using just the modules that I'm bitching about!  I guess it's just a 
matter of them not being incredible, but usefull.
