seconded, the a111-5 module is a natural for the beauty case of course.
I also really like the sockets at the bottom - in general the eurorack format is basically too small for my moog-sized hands - having patch cables interferring as well takes away a lot of fun. I would like future doepfer modules to stay with this idea where possible
in my book two LFOs is always better than one but in this case I think I would prefer 1 LFO plus a lag generator, or maybe a single VC LFO

strange, the lack of feedback over the a111-5 synth voice.
as a
mini-synth i suppose it's pretty run-of-the-mill,
although at that
price i dare say one or two other manufacturers are
uttering the odd
expletive. but as a kind of "five things you use in
nearly every
patch" toolbox, i think it's wonderful, although
i'm usually no fan of
putting as much as possible into a module.
so if you'll forgive me for the one-sided feedback,
here's what i like
about it:
knobs on top, connections at the bottom. i don't really
like the sound
of the cwejman stuff, but the layout i always found very
good.
linear and exponential filter fm. strange that this luxury
should
first appear in this context, but bring it on, say i.
likewise for accurate vcf tracking. could the filter cv
input be
normalled to the cv bus
tune control with a choice of range. splendid!
adsr/gate switch on the vca. is it connected to the gate
bus
mini low-space lfo's. not sure how often i'd need
two in one voice,
but what else can you do with the space left over :)
as soon as the midi-cv interface is available i'll be
buying four of
these. but in the meantime, i look forward to replacing
five modules
with this one.
dieter, how much hassle would it be to add a pin-header to
the pcb
this could make available the separate vco and lfo
waveforms etc. for
the lightweight diy faction. or is development close to
release
one more question. what's the difference between the
triangle and
sawtooth in its middle position
anyway, great module dieter!
