hi selfosc,
the selector sounds excellent!especially the vca
overdrive function makes some awesome sounds!BUT,i
really cannot tell that is sounds better than
my(cheaper)a100...just different.ok,it sounds fat,but
instead of three selector vco's,you can use four a110
in your a100.i think the result will have the same
fatness!what you are paying in the selector is
the(expensive)woodencase,the expensive bigjacks and
the bigger frontplates.together with better
pontetiometers,etc...BUT!,it still sounds as good as
my doepfer and integrator!you have many,many cv inputs
and outputs in the selector modules(that's why you
don't need mixer modules and multiples(well,most of
the times...).so,if you think about it ,the selector
modules are not that much expensive compared to
doepfer and AS.
btw,i love the way it looks!!!!:-)
i intend to expand it further now that jurg oldani
will be releasing a new 10U version of the selector
modules with a much cheaper metal 10U cabinet!
that's all.
bottom line:if i want a FAT sounding low sound i will,
probably, go to my selector,but if i want more
experimental stuff i will run to my a100 and my(now
12U)integrator for help!
