Analogue systems

Hi.

I just got an A-119 External Input module and I must say I got very 
dissapointed.
Using the line level input to send signal from my mixing desks 
busses to the A-119, I found that it is very hard to get a 
consistent signal going in the A-119 that will drive it correctly 
(i.e. sound not cutting out, even with the threshold at the minimum 
value, or overdrive it too much). Also the A-119 does not do a good 
job at "creating" an envelope of the incoming signal. If I use say a 
16th bass pattern from AbSynth going in the A-119, the A-119 does 
cannot "follow" the incoming signal correctly and the triggering is 
pretty unacceptable...

It works OK with slower signals like pads and such, but there is 
quite a bit of noise induced (more than I would have imagined).

The A-119 is brand spanking new, I just got it yesterday. Is this 
the case with all A-119s? Is the Analog Solutions envelope follower 
any better than the A-119?

One more thing, I've been getting loads of e-mails from the Doepfer 
list, but cannot reply to them. How do you reply to the Doepfer 
yahoo list? Bakkis?


Peace out.
