Hi list,

thanx to all the people who answered to my email with suggestions.

I considered having two NTOs over PCOs for extra modulations. If I was to replace a NTO with 2 PCOs I would loose a slot and that would probably be taken off from a filter. Thing is I want two VQCFs to make a 4-pole.

Other than that, I could get some extra functionality by using a PCO and a comparator to make pulse waves but what other uses do I have beyond this? PCOs can serve as LFOs but so do the DSGs.

I might replace the TWS with a Wave Multiplier. I will consider the Random source, as well.

I dropped the ASRs because I couldn't think of any uses. When I asked Rex to supply me with some diagrams on specific module applications he said that there should be plenty of info here and there... You know.. just wanted something to get me started. It is easy to say "go ahead and experiment" but I can't really experiment with almost 8000 euros. It's a bit difficult to fork out that amount of money in one go and it is this balance (price/modules) that keeps me from ordering. Or should I say lack of balance? (Grin)

I don't have much use for a Ring Modulator. At least not for now. Maybe on a 4th panel.

BTW, is the shielding done inside in the Serge? Do you think it could be possible to ask for balanced outputs? Is there any benefit from this?

Gee, I didn't know that the Doepfer modular is not of high quality and that the company is trying to fulfill promises about OS and things... About a month ago I tested a Hartmann Neuron and it was the exact opposite. Very high quality (a few niggles here and there), very high structural functionality, but mediocre patches. One might easily be fooled by surfing at Doepfer's site. Nice staff all around, diagrams, mp3s, blah blah. No wonder why many of you sold your Doepfers...

Have a nice day.
