New Modularist

New Modularist

2005-09-06 by ofthicktum

Hi
This is my first post as I have just acquired my first modular system secondhand.
Which consists of...

1xRS15 19" rack-mountable 6U case
3X RS-95 Voltage controlled oscillators
1X RS100 Low pass filter
1X RS110 Multimode filter
2X RS60 Envelope Generator
1X RS70 Inverter/Preamp/Slew
1X RS170 Dual Multiple
1X RS40 Noise/Sample and Hold Oscillator/Clock
1X RS20 Ring Modulator/Multiple
1X RS165 Signal Mixer
1X RS180 
2X Doepfer A-178 Theremin controllers


Can anyone recomend some basic modules that would cheaply and effectively enhance my 
system. Nothing too exotic though.

I've been thinking of
Another VCA.
1x Dedicated LFO
 RS50 Trigger generator with VC pulse shaper & VC DC level shifter.
Another envelope.
and the big spend a RS140Midi / CV Converter.

Doepfer alternatives would be appreciated.
Kind reagrds 

David

hello follow modularist,
plenty of alternatives...
instead of buying the rs140 midi-cv, buy an a190 for
less and save money for more modules. of course the
rs140 has more features and an lcd, but there is a
cost difference.
some quick suggestions of not too exotic modules: a133
vc polarizer, a143-2 quad adsr, an a108 multislope
filter, a137 wave multiplier, a155 or rs200 sequencer
modules. more vca's, more envelopes, more mixers, more
lfo's. the a143-3 quad lfo would be a cheap start.
you're right about the vca. you'll need one more, and
a cv mixer too.
what can i say?
if you live in europe, then doepfer will be a bit
cheaper for you. you decide.
my advice would be to study carefuly the doepfer and
AS websites. then, knowing each module's functions and
price, you decide what you buy next.
best regards,
bakis.

hello david,

my suggestion for adding more modules to your system:

buy at least one lfo (rs80, a145, a147, a143/3).
buy at least one more vca (rs180, a130, a131, a132).
interesting alternatives for standard vca's are a101/2 or a133.
maybe also buy another mixer (i prefer the a138c).

hope this helps

best wishes

ingo
