Hi Hans

There is no editor for th A112. There is only a sample dump loader. You may
assumingly do the same job with every other sample dump loader or simply
any sequencer. The A112 was never offered with an editor[*] and from the
beginning it was said that there will be no developement for some computer
software. So if you were so stupid (sorry that I am getting that rigid) to
buy a module, that was known to you as not being usable, no one will be
able to help you. Would you buy wintertyres for a Volvo if you own a Saab -
only because both are funny northern european car manufactureres



2 The available software is an testing tool from their hardware testing
technician. Try to find any other manufacturer, that gives the testing
software to his customers!

Sorry to say, but according to a person how is involved in merketing
research at a well known music software house which was acquired by Apple
recently, the Mac is used by around 9 to 12 percent in the MIDI-orientated
music community.

An envelope cannot have punch or something like that. It
all depends on what the envelope is controlling. The same envelope on a
A130 will "sound" completely different to the result on a A131. All
envelopes that are not calculated in a microprocessor are based on
loading/unloading a capacitor. There is no difference in the curve an
capacitor is loading between any manufacturer.

What may be different is the VCA of an Korg or an SH101 or the kind of
patch that YOU are wiring on an A100. So talking about the "punch of an
envelope", you should complain about yourself, that you do not understand
what you are doing, but not about Doepfer or Korg or Roland.

Oehm, urps, any around 30 other synths on the world use the same circuit (I
don't mean the chip, I mean the schematic), so tell me the difference. Or
is it again, that you don't know what you are talking about...
