i started!and then i ordered a6U rack filled with
modules that i wanted.a few days ago i ordered another
3U rack with a second a155sequencer and a WASP
filter!so now i've got two a155sequencers to play
with.as you can see i liked the doepfer modular very
much.the only sad thing about it is that some mini
jacks cables do not make good contact with the
inputs.(the problem that i had was with the CV1 inputs
on the a110 VCO's when i connected them with the CV
output of the a155.but that can be fixed as you can
see in the FAQ's page on the doepfer site.i haven't
try it yet...)i correct these problems by slightly
turning the mini jacks into the inputs.also the
behaviour of the a156 quantizer is a little "stranger"
than you migth expect.if you want to use the a156
quantizer i will send you the answer that doepfer gave
me.the a100 modular is my favourite piece of gear in
my studio and i got 27 synthesizers!it's analog and
it's modular and there are many modules available.what
more can you ask
