hello list,
 last weekend i've received some new modules,
 the most interesting are a137, a149/2 and a154.
 a137
 ----
 a great module. creates fat sync-like sounds
 out of a single triangle/sine waveform.
 it is a bit difficult to get a neutral setting,
 but who wants that anyway i tried envelopes
 to control several parameter and got very
 interesting results. with complex audio such as
 drumloops it can be used as a distortion unit
 with a very harsh sound. but it is definitely
 best to use it with simple waveforms with no or
 only few overtones.
 a149/2
 ------
 does what it does. my unit triggers with
 both a149/1 clock inputs, which is not as described
 on the doepfer homepage. i guess that i have one of the
 first a149/1, in which only one shift register is used
 the a149/2 is nice for retriggering lfo's, envelopes
 and stuff like that.
 a154
 ----
 very nice. it was worth the wait, all modes work very well.
 the one-shot mode is cool, i wanted that feature badly.
 now i got it, which is great. please note that if you use
 two a155 with it, the second a155 won't be controllable
 with it's own start-stop-clock-buttons, even when the
 a154-function is switched off. no problem for me.
 i recommend this module for all a155-users.
 i hope to receive the a101/3 this week, i'll write
 more when i got this gizmo.
 best wishes
