joe,
hello ! sorry to be the contrarian here but..........in my doepfer g6 frames,
i have modules from an. sys. and an. sol. - respectively, the comb filter and
the 8x1 sequencer. granted, the loss of 1hp on each side of the an. sys.
module is a bummer - in my case, resulted in losing a total of 4hp ( ie: an
a-180 ) in that row - but it was something i elected to "live with" because i
wanted that module and there was no doepfer equivelent. an. sol. seq.
required a +5vdc adaptor but there was one on the buss it plugged into
anyway, so no big deal for me but something to be aware of. the finish of the
faceplates is different but i wouldn`t go so far to say as "ugly" in terms of
match. then again, this is a deeply personal aesthetics issue so everyone
will have a different viewpoint. as to any subtle differences in systems
philosophy, with only one module each from the a.s.`s, i haven`t seen any
incompatibilities but certainly, i`m no expert. isn`t there someone - david
salter - - who has a sizable mixed system beyond the 2 a. s.`s, i have a
motm 410, encore u.e.g., blacet/wiard miniwave and blacet time machine ( all
literally screwed into a board and sitting on a doepfer frame ) that i use
with my core doepfer system. these all seem to work well with the doepfer,
too. me, i like the weird, chaotic look and take the zen approach of
accepting each module for what it is and not worrying about appearance.
best,
dave
