Zoog, I know exactly who you are, that's how I found out about the EMS
Synthi, is from you. I'm a huge fan, and you're actually the one who
convinced me to take the plunge into the A-100. :) Love your new
album, it's way more musical than the first two, but it's an
interesting direction for you to take your music. Huge change from
the cold, dark percussion-heavy stuff you've done in the past, which I
loved as well. I've always been somewhat hesitant to jump into
modulars, because they're tedious, inconsistant, and even primitive
when compared to something like, say, the Access Virus. But, what
they lack in technology, they make up for in warmth and flexibility.
I love how you use your modular not only as an instrument, but as your
effects unit as well. I've also been blown away by what Bryan of
Velvet Acid Christ has done with his modular stuff. It's a nice
change from the usual bleepy stuff some groups do, and the two of you
have shown me that these things can be integrated into a good DAW
setup with amazing results. My first module was the A-137, that
should tell you something. So I definitely plan on getting the EMS
Synthi filter, just trying to figure out what else. Bryan (VAC) has
gotten some neat sounds out of Harvestman, so that might be worth
checking out. But, I appreciate your suggestions, and I'll put the
102, 106-6, 115, and 124 on my short list for sure.
