Hi list, hi John

My intention Back in ´97 I saw a Doepfer ad in a magazine and decided
to purchase it as the Analogue Solutions modular was too expensive for
me and I didn´t know other manufacturers at that time. Another thing was
the A-129 vocoder. I always loved analog vocoders and when i discovered
the modular one, I had to have it. As for other manufacturers, I´d go
for Modcan and synthesizers.com .

Favorite module. definitely A-119 External Input/ Envelope Follower. A
must-have when using the vocoder. Great for filtering external signals,
drum mangling, Mu-Tron-like space bass (bass guitar -> A-119 //
envelope out --> filter CV // audio out --> filter audio in); it can be
used as a powered mini-multiple and for distorting signals. Even
constant voltage is possible. Just plug in a constant audio signal (e.g.
LFO at audio range) into the audio in. Set threshold to minimum and use
the gate out voltage.
Perhaps there are modules I´d like more, but the choice isn´t that large
when you only have a 22-module system. But I plan to purchase the ribbon
controller, the subharmonic generator and the multi filter. and and
and... ;-)
