hello,
i bought my first doepfer mini system in 2001.in this
time all of today's modulars were available, but i
went for doepfer because of the huge number of modules
available!i wanted a modular that would become an
experimentalist's dream!and doepfer a100 was one!
if i hadn't gone for doepfer i would go for the rs
integrator.i wouldn't go for most of the other
modulars ,as a start ,because of the expensive
prices!if you want to build a 202 module modular, like
i wanted, you want a modular with resonable priced
modules...
now ,that i have my monster a100 i maybe go for the
expensive bigjack modulars that have far less
modules,though...and take much space.
bakis.
