Hi
> any ideas for future forthcoming a100 modules
1.) transform/diode-based ring modulator
2.) Still I am for a more modular concept for a sequencer:
Clock-modul, Trigger/Gate-Seq module with gate-length options
(quarter-Step, half-Step, three-quarte step, legato), CV-Seq-Module.
It would be *very* cool, if those sequencer-submodules would be
programmable.
3.) Drum modules, whichs sound is dependending from the trigger signals
amplitude; they could be used directly from usual drumpads. In addition
a MIDI/CV-Interface that gives the velocity as Voltagelevel of the trigger.
4.) A Masterclock-Modul with "swing"-function. It should provide
MIDI-Clock-In/Out, DIN-Sync in/out, several Trigger in/outs.
The swing function should give several "swing"-algorithms like the 16A -
16F in the Quantize function of emagic/apple's "Logic". The swing could
be applied to the sync and the trigger outs. Best would be to assign
different swing factors to different outputs.
(I tried that already in a Logic-song by generating a sync signal via 96
short notes for the clock and one long note for the start/stop. Those
MIDI-notes were fed to the MIDI/CV-Interface, and the resulting gates
were given to the appropriate pins of the DIN-jack. Guys: a swinging
TR-808 is unbelievable good!)
5.) I could imagine a luxury-version of the A-100: double sized
frontpanels, large knobs, 6,3mm jacks (or bananas). But perhaps this
would be a better job for someone, who cooperates with Doepfer and
offers this luxury version as a modification.
