Hi

I agree with you, I would choose a standalone matrix and connect it in a fixed, labelled semi-modular way with an analog synth, moogerfoogers etc - but I would not really want to use one as part of my main modular system - a modular with mixers and multples is already a huge matrix, no

Subject: 1 again: A-100 patch matrix


Dear members,

after some discussions with Musikmesse visitors and my own experience I
doubt if the patch matrix is really a useful tool within a modular system.
From my point of view such a matrix is very useful in a semi-modular unit
with fixed assignments of the inputs and outputs. But in a modular system
one has to patch even the ins and outs, i.e. you have to remember which
modules are connected to the patch matrix. I think this additonial
"openness" nullifies to a considerable degree as one could do most of the
patches also without the need of a patch matrix.

Maybe I missed something. Anyway, as I do not really stand by this module we
will manufacture it only if there are a reasonable amount of pre-orders.

In addition a poll would be useful for us to find out if other members have
different opinions. I'll ask Bakis to start the corresponding poll.

Best wishes
Dieter Doepfer
