Doepfer

Hello, 

I am new here, and very happy that such a list exists.

I have recently sold two keyboards, a jupiter6 and a dss1 korg (which is a 
sampler with analog filters) and with the cash i would like to buy some 
Doepfer/Analog S/(Blacet ?)  modules.

For the moment my modular setup is pretty limited.
A MS20 and a few Oakley modules.

I would like to know if reviews per modules exist somewhere on the net or in 
some file areas of this list ? Because I will try to hear them before buying 
but i suppose it won't be easy for some rare modules and review from other 
users are generally enlighting.

Thanks a lot,

Linium

hello linium,
wellcome to the list!,
well,if you want some soundclips of the a100 modules
to listen to,go to:  
http://efofex.net/archive/backstudio/a100/  (these
clips exist in the doepfer site,too, but they are of a
very low quality,so it's better to download the clips
from the efofex site...)   
also,visit the sounds section of the doepfer site,and
the:
http:/www.modular-planet.de
(by the way,listen to my new patch on modular
planet:COMPLEXSEQ)!!
also,visit the REPORTS section of the doepfer
site(where you will find links for a lot of reviews of
the a100 modules in english and german magazines).
i think this info will help...

Thanks for the links, the mp3 are a good help.

I would like to ask 2 things to the people here:

What are your 3 preferred modules ?
(sorry for starting an unofficial poll ;)))))

Are there people using modular polyphonically 
I would like to know if it is feasable, may be with the midicv24 
Doepfer for the enveloppe and lfo ??

Hi Linium

I tried it a little bit, but it is too much effort. I prefer using it as a
monophonic instrument and create chords and other polyphonic like stuff by
multitracking. Meanwhile I have also a Nord Modular which does the most
polyphonic stuff. I create the patch on the A-100 and rebuild it on the
Nord Modular.

I think a hardware based modular system is something that is more to be
used as a violin: The art is to concentrate more on the possibilities for
expression than on playing the rght notes.

Its a big advantage to go after others have already mentioned a lot of 
my favorite modules, because I get to add a few more of my favorites 
to the list:

A190/A191 - by which I mean that I find the A190 by itself just too 
frustrating and primitive, but the A190/A191 together makes for a very 
decent Midi/CV interface. I think they should be considered to be a 
single module.

A150 VC Switch - The threshold voltage (~3.6V) can be exploited in all 
sorts of useful ways - velocity cross-switching, keyboard splits, 
delayed modulation (via a slew limiter), comparison logic, etc. Its 
also an indispensible companion to the A155 sequencer.

A132 Dual VCA - one of the 4U "small gems", worth its weight in gold. 
Too many uses to enumerate, I find myself reaching for it in every 
single patch.

I'll also second Martin's nomination of the A165 Trigger Modifier, for 
the same reason. It's a tiny gem, and always seems to find a way to 
make itself useful.

Regarding polyphony, My A100 is essentially a 3-VCO voice, but I 
occasionally use an external CV/Gate source to operate it as two 
independent monosynths (one of them will only have one VCO and one 
ADSR, of course). I may eventually expand my A100 to support two 3-VCO 
voices. But for the amount of money that it would take to buy enough 
modules for polyphonic chords, and the amount of time it would take to 
manually duplicate a patch for each polyphonic voice, it doesn't seem 
worth it to me. There's at least three excellent analog polysynths 
currently in production, with good modulation routing flexibility. 
There's also several "virtual analog" polysynths available as well.
