> hello dieter,
> merry christmas and a happy new year!
>
> also,i saw the new face of the a154...
> i would prefer the LARGER BUTTONS for the
> start,stop,reset,step controls!!!!!like the ones
> used in the a113!
> DOEPFER:This will increase the price of the A-154 as

another

> pc board would have to be added. At the moment the 4
> buttons and the 4 jack sockets are mounted on one
> small common board. If the A-113 type buttons have
> to be used 2 separate boards for the sockets and the
> buttons are necessary and the button board will need
> additional mounting.
> BAKIS:please,this would make their operation much

easier

> and the looks of the a154 much better,too!!!
> DOEPFER:If the customers are willing to pay more -

no

> problem.
> BAKIS:also,please,notify me when the

a102,a109,a107 and

> the a154 will be available!
> DOEPFER:The first A-102 and A-109 are already on

their way

> (we received them on Wednesday from the factory) but
> we have no manuals so far available - neither German
> nor English. The man who writes the manuals will

> and then they have to be translated into English.
> But A-100 specialists will have no problems to use
> the A-102 and A-109.
>
> Dates for A-154 and A-107 are not yet fixed (this
> will even depend if new features have to be added,
> e.g. the new sync suggestions in the group are not
> possible with the existing hardware and would
> require a complete re-design. The addresses for all
> A-155 connected to the A-154 are the same (only one
> connector that has to be equipped with the suitable
> ribbon cable for one or two or ... A.-155) ! There
> is no separate address hardware for different A-155.
>
> BAKIS: also, i don't mind for the new filter

module(with

> ssm chip),it's welcome,but if it had some new
> features it would be more desirable for all the a100
> users...
> DOEPFER:The features are limited to what is possible

with

> expect that all A-100 users have identical opinions.
> We have about 25 customers who want to have a
> SSM2044 filter because of the sound of the SSM2044
> but not because of additional features - that would
> not be possible with the SSM2044 (e.g. no variable
> slope, this will have the A-107 or the A-108 with
> A-135 and A-144).
>
> BAKIS: BUT,I THINK,AFTER THE EXCELLENT NEW
> MODULES(A107,A154,TKS)THAT YOU SHOULD DEVELOPE MORE
> MODULES OF THIS TYPE!(ESOTERIC/EXOTIC)!!!
> SO,PLEASE,A CHAOS GENERATOR NEXT!!!!OR SOMETHING
> WEIRD LIKE THE BLACET MODULES,PLEASE!
> DOEPFER:We already have a very preliminary chaos

generator

> prototype (similar to Buchlas module of uncertainty)
> but we have to go one step after the other. Before
> we continue this development the A-154, A-107 and
> TKB have to be finished. The SSM filter is no
> problem as it is a standard design (no challence for
> a hardware designer).
> Dieter

BAKIS:SO, ALL YOU A100 USERS...HAVE YOUR SAY!!!!!
