1) Why not have more than just 1 pair of CV/Gate on the back plane
Why not have say, four pair per backplane The various pairs could
be selectable using jumpers on the backplane at each ribbon connect.
This was a naive question which reflected one of my first
observations after purchasing my A-100. Since then I have concluded
(correctly don't know) there is simply no good reason.

2) Given my list of current modules, and a couple of prospective
paths, what might be a recommended way to get two voices in stereo
Since asking this question, and discussing this with the folks at
Analog Haven, it seems the Cwejman stereo mixer is probably the way
to go.

3) I'm finding what seems to be some frequency filtering going on in
mixer modules, and perhaps others. Has anyone else seen this Has
anyone looked at the frequency response of various Doepfer modules
(other than filters) Is there a known freq response spec published
by Doepfer This one is still of interest to me and I am thinking
about how important it is and the degree to which it needs to be
answered. Behind this question is a desire to learn how to assess
various modules and their desireability. I caught myself spec-ing
out spectrum analyzers online today. That could lead to further
questions for this group, as it's possible that someone else has had
the same interest. Perhaps a spectrum analyzer is considered by many
to be an essential part of their modular setup! No idea. I guess
probably not.





doug,
okay, lets see..................
1) busses - i suspect it has to do with physical space on the bussboards.
even the one that comes along with set-up, however, is something i never use in
my modular noodlings.
2) for stereo output, i use the a-134 panner with its inputs fed by 2
a-138`s. perhaps not "true" stereo but easy to patch and much less expensive than
the cwejman mixer module.
3) i`d love a spectrum analyzer for its visual "geek appeal" and it is
probably a better tool than a o-scope for seeing whats going on in some ways. i
haven`t noticed excessive roll-off in non-filter modules i have from doepfer,
tho. could, however, be a side effect of my simple monitoring set-up - i`m not
missing it because i never heard it in the first place sort of thing but i
seem to get plenty of high end when i want it to my ears. then again, at 53,
they are older, more tired ears too.
best,
dave
