HI LIST, TODAY I TESTED MY A105 PROTOTYPE FOR THE FIRST TIME:sounds AMAZING!!i particularly liked the 18db output sound(i don't have an a103 18db lowpass to compare it,though...).BUT, most impressing of all was the feedback/emphasis feature...i connected the 24db output to an a125 phase shifter(modulated by a slow lfo) and then to the feedback input and the 18db output to a mixer>vca>amplifier ,turned the emphasis knob to the right and...very impressing sounds start to come out of my speakers!!with the correct settings i managed to make a heavily- terribly-awefully(!!!) distorted sound that souns like nothing else i have created so far...i hope,in a few days the wav. will be in the doepfer site... apart from this, the emphasis,even if you connect another filter output of the a105,has a "special" quality,a little strange at times,and that's the beauty of it!! by the way,the module panel says:a105 VCF8,not vcf7 as the website page says,and also,the outputs from top to bottom:BP,24LP,18LP,12LP,6LP.they are in the opposite order of the a105 picture of the doepfer site...anyway that is collector's stuff... in a few days my first impressions of the A108 prototype will come,also... synthfreak2000 [doepfer_a100] group moderator
