hi kevin,
if i was you,i would pick the a108 first of all!it has
a wonderfull sound(better than the a120) and an
resonance feedback loop for you to insert anything you
want.then i would buy the a121.it's a multimode
filter,so you'll use its highpass and bandpass and
notch outputs a lot!
all the other filters(a105 lowpass,a102 lowpass,a122
lowpass,a123 highpass,a127 triple resonator,a128
filterbank, can wait for a latter time...)
as for the ms20 filter,i don't see it coming very
soon, as doepfer has already released A LOT of filters
and now dieter seems to be concetrating on more
experimental stuff(hooray for that!).
welcome aboard,
bakis.
