I'm buying my first modular, and going for all Doepfer modules for
the sake of size (main modules being 2 x A-110s, an A-111, a A-120
and an A-121). I must say that it took a really long time to come to
this decision, and it still feels like a punt in the dark.

I put most of this down to the lack of decent, clean samples. The
example mp3s on the doepfer site are, without fail, some of the least
impressive, crunchy demos I've ever heard. I'd even go as far as
saying they are actively offputting (bar http://moog-
3c.analogue.org/network/demosongs/DoepferA100_Morgan_Excerpt_from_Enco
unter.mp3, which is the product of a pretty large, unknown system -
not exactly helpful in terms of marketing Doepfer goodies).

As a result, I'm taking it on faith (and - admittedly - reviews) that
the modules actually sound pretty good, and that I won't regret my
purchase.

Anyone else feel the same when they first splashed out on a modular
Anyone have any links to sites with nice clean examples of VCOs
