The day Mr. Doepfer's a101-2 lopass gate goes on sale I will
definitely order at least one, maybe more.
Since I am in a tight space and its great to have lots of lopass
gates, I would personally love to see a couple of them squeezed into
a single 8hp panel. If the design is just a Buchla clone, then this
should be possible, since it would require one pot, three jacks and
one switch per gate. If one of the gates has an extra resonance
pot, it might still be possible to fit two on an 8hp panel. The
space is a bigger concern to me than the cost.
I am personally much less interested in the A101-3 since I don't
generally care for the sound of phasers. But, maybe I just lack the
imagination to see what could be done with all the extra features. I
seem to be in the minority here.
My opinion is obviously only my opinion.
Its great to be a witness to all of Mr. Doepfer's incredibly
prolific creativity. Somehow, I think this is very likely to be the
stuff of legend in a few years.
