Hi,
I agree!
I think the a100 envelopes are very nice, perhaps Hans hasn't
noticed they have a range switch :-D
Trying to make a 'punchy' sound using the wrong range ..oh well.
The multimode filter is a nice filter, but really depends what sound
you are after, that is why we have so many different filters....they
are DIFFERENT for a reason!
