thank you!

do you use it in kombination with the a-154 ? i heard the
possibillities are not bad (many different things possible)

> its overall functionality is very similar.
i found a test where i says about the third row of the rs-200:
"and a third gate pulse that's activated at each step regardless 
of the trigger output switches. "
at each step ... i don´t know, how this can be usefull ?

oh, i also talked with schneider, and read in a german forum.
it seems that much luck is needed to get an oberkorn, which
works correctly. so i am careful about deciding for one.

i found another altnerative in the meantime, an mfb module,
which is programmed like a tr-606/808. 2x16 steps.

very cool concept, and there are rumors, that another one
with cv-voltages will come out. this in kombination with
a-154/155 could be great, what do you think ?

> In addition to a sequencer, you'll need a clock source 
the a-155 doesn´t have one ?
would be another argument für the mfb-doepfer kombination.
the mfb has clock (master/slave)

thats great.

>I have the A156 which is perfectly serviceable.
yes, i already search for this module, equal if in use with
a-155 or rs-200.

diy is great, i did a microphone preamp, but it takes so much
time, that i really prefer a no-diy-sequencer at the moment ;)
even if the milton looks really nice, or is it a totally 
complete kit, with all parts included ?
 
> it comes down to it, I want to see lots of knobs and flashing LEDs.
yes, me too at the moment. i just want to make my experience
with modularsynthesizer + analog sequencer at the moment

thanks!!
