Andreas,

When mixing modules from Doepfer, Analogue systems & Analogue Solutions the following need to be taken into account;

All use the standard euro card format in standard widths, however the mounting holes on the A Systems panels use a different off-set so when mixing modules gaps will appear. Doepfer and A Solutions use the same mounting standard.

Both A Systems and A Solutions can supply their modules with a Doepfer power lead. Beaware that A So;utions use a lot of 5V and the mini adapter that comes with a A100 basic system will not drive more that 6 modules.

Mixing Doepfer is something I have thought quite a bit about, but still not
made reality. I know that doepfer modules can be fitted in the AS-rack but
it is like a 98% fit so it cosmetically will not look perfect. On the other
hand AS can't be fitted into the Doepfer rack as far as I know. Guess it can
if you are a circuit master, but Doepfer makes not kits or converter cables,
right guys

As for midi-cv modules the AS seems better in all aspects except beeing
slightly bigger in size. I will go that route myself soon and buy an AS case
for midi-cv and something more...

As far as doepfer goes there are some must haves in the A136 and A129/3. the
a136 is very cool and something I haven't seen anywhere. I totally adds a
new flavour to the sounds. The A129/3 is a very hand module to tweak cv
signals to the right amount. Yes it cost some but you get five separate
channels.

As for VCOs a lot can be said and I plainly state that neither of doepfers
VCOs are perfect, the A110 tracks badly and the A111 has imperfect square I
have heard. As for the AS I have no clue.

This is actually a bit of blasphemy but as things are today I myself would
very carefully look into VA if I was going modular from scratch again.
