About the VCOs: The A-111-1 tracks much better than the A-110 it is almost perfect. I tested them against digital synth.
About the sound: It can be very snappy ,thanks to the A-140 adsr and there is so many filters to choose from, you can get a very moogy sound out of these modules of course in my humble opinion

Subject: 1 Bunch of questions about the Doepfer Modular (sonority, VCO tracking...)


 
Hi

I am thinking of getting a Doepfer modular synth but in order to do so I'll have to sell a couple of monophonic synths (Yamaha CS5/10/15 and Teisco S110f), so I need to be sure it's a good solution for me before selling those old great monophonic synths.

My first question is how good is the VCOs tracking

I want to use the modular to create experimental sounds, but since it will be replacing some of my monophonic synths, I want to be able to do some melodies and solos with it too.

My second question is about how good it sounds for what I want to do...
I really like old electronic German music, like Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze and so on.

The best demos I see for this kind of stuff are using Moog Modular clones (MOS-Lab, COTK, Synthesizers.com...), but those are a bit too expensive for me...
And then I saw this demo which has the kind of sounds I'm looking for - http://www.youtube.com/watch v=ykyUr2nu-lI - which made me think the Doepfer Modular would be a good solution, and within range if I sell the monophonic synths I have.

Do you think I'll be happy enough with the Doepfer, considering the difference in price and the fact that there are many more modules available in second hand than from other brands

My third question is... if I end up getting one of the Moog Modular clones, will the Doepfer still be useful

Since the Doepfer has many more modules available, I'd expect it to be...

My last question now... what modules could give me a similar sound to the one I get from my Yamaha CSs and Teisco S110f

It's not crucial I get a perfect emulation, as I want to keep at least one Teisco S110f and a Yamaha CS15, but if I can get a similar sound to those, it would be great, as I quite like their sound.

Thanks in advance,
Best

Paulo
