I confess that an A-200 range is an interesting idea, maybe some of the ideas that Dieter has proposed in the past but would not be of commercial enough interest could also fall into that category.
I know that even a short production run costs money to set-up, PCB's, front panels etc but if it means paying a bit more then so be it. After all, if people are prepared to pay the sort of prices that other companies like Serge or Wiard charge for some of there esoteric modules, maybe some Doepfer users would as well I know I would.
As for a high end, discrete VCO or DCO definitely. Also multistage envelopes with the ability to set loop points like the Obie Matrix had.

You have to remember that a small production run will always cost a manufacturer lots of money, which the customers have to pay in the end.
But what would you all think about a higher priced module line (A-200 for example) with added functions What about modules like a new discrete-circuit hi-end VCO with more than two CV inputs, please! ; or a filterbank with separate outs; ringmod45´s proposal for the "Variable Waveform Sync LFO"

Yes, that´s a great idea if they decide not to produce it. This shouldn´t be too difficult to build it in my eyes. Compare it with synth.com´s PC-joystick-to-CV adapter [
http://www.synthesizers.com/q142.html
look at the bottom of the page], that´s only some cables attached to a D-Sub (or was it Sub-D ) connector. Connect the cables to a pedal interface - the A-177 would do fine - and have fun. Just imagine two joysticks to the left and right of your touchkeyboard, a ribbbon controller in front of it... aaamaaazing control possibilities!! ;-)
The only problem might be to purchase a single N64-controller connector... Well, I might dismantle my flatmate´s N64... ;-) ...damn, he´s only got a Playstation, but that´s a nice controller,too!
best,
Paul (another wack keyboarder)
