All user reviews for the Doepfer A-100 Basic System 1

Hello
More and more aspiring musicians opt for the "PC ALL", and in the end we are left with a mix without wealth, while flat, everything is mixed?
WHAT A PITY
The solution is to diversify the sound sources, and there, the A100 is a must:
modular is customize the mix.
you can find anything, at any price, and it is endless.
- Modules that generate sounds
- Functions
- Filters and effects
- And I hope one day preamp, compressor and other tools to make it a true all in one

UTILIZATION

There are quantities of the various modules and can therefore be used as filters or modules sound processing
for example, to treat its BD + CH + OH so that my sound card, I send everything to the subgroup 3, which is in my A100, in this case the A189 change Bit-1> A121 VCF-2> A131 A140 VCA controlled by an ADSR envelope. It is the trick to imitate a noise gate

With a modular, we understand what we do, what we control, and soon we know make a sound, just with tools (envelope, LFO and so on)
best is to use modules that control VC, eg VCLFO A147 rather than A145 LFO able to control the LFO is terrible.
I also recommend a slightly evolved sequencer.
S / H are also important: it can add a random grain in a very rigid and repetitive world.
Associated with / a MAC16 3 and a drum machine, the config is just perfect to start.

SOUNDS

As mentioned above, module manufacturers are becoming more numerous, and they are having a field day.
The only problem is funding, as "good" modules cost a minimum of 300 €. :-(
and DIY is not for everyone ....

The Hertz Donut is terrible. Not really analog, but perfect for creating moods, or sequences barred.
MFB seq 2 is the sequencer of the TR808: a killer too, although a bit small.
standard oscillator VCO A110 have a sacred fishing. the bass is huge.
Pittsburgh oscillators are of incredible beauty.

What is top is that you can mix the VCO, VCF several brands and create configs very personal.
is a bomb

OVERALL OPINION

I repeat once again, a modular synth is to have.
Boxes / low cost power supply used to upgrade the machine progressively.
Birthday gifts, christmas turn into little boxes in Eurorack Format: yay
