I have a Klang Werk.  I haven't played it that much, but I'm impressed
with it.  I think Blacet intended it to be used largely as a 1-in 1-out
processor, with the internal carrier.  It sounds, well, clangy.  As you
said, the 110 ring mod sounds very clean and hard - to get good sounds out
of it I think you have to really know what to put in.  Klang Werk seems
to be easier to elicit musical tones from, both in and out of tune.  I
haven't tried using it without the carrier, as an "abstract ring
modulator".  Also I haven't checked its CV nulling :)  The overdrive
knob is quite nice too.

Overall it's a good sounding, interesting module.  If I moved the modular
around a lot I would probably be a little worried about the durability of
Blacet modules - although that may only be because we have MOTM to compare
it to :)  But since it's a studio only rig, no problem.  (This isn't meant
as unfair criticism of Blacet modules - I doubt anything I built DIY
would be durable enough for gigging either, unless I filled the case with
Silly Putty as somebody on synth-diy suggested!)

peace,
