so, we just found a great advantage of the Doepfer modular for stage
performance!
bakis,
everyone likes things for their own reasons - what works for me maybe
doesn`t appeal to someone else but everyone is valid in their own contexts -
still, among advantages to doepfer modulars i have to list a) small
form-factor, i don`t mind the panel density b) to my ear, it sounds good c)
widest array of modules on the market covering all but the most exotic bases.
case in point, without wanting to start a "who`s is better" flame war, the
aforementioned buchla 200e, sexy-as-hell and quite good sounding, on closer
inspection did little my mini-footlocker didn`t but the mini-footlocker
was $15k less. the artists primary reason for favoring the buchla was that
its elaborate, powerful switching and presetable programmabilty of modules
was important to his music. i saw his point but............
best,
dave
