hello pierre,
hopefully the a107 will be available end of september,
it looks so promising. i can't wait to get it.
the a108 is a great sounding filter, it is my favorite.
the a105 is also great, lots of bass, but a bit dull in
the upper frequency range. if you like the mono/poly, you
will also like the a105. i would not recommend an a122,
because the a107 will probably sound similar in lowpass-mode.
if you are looking for a roland-filter, the a103 is also
worth a look, but in my opinion it doesn't sound like a
typical roland-filter f.e. the one in a sh101 or juno60,
which is probably what you want it to sound like.
the a102 is the loudest of all the filters, but it's resonance
is tricky, because it goes into self-oscillation very early.
best wishes
ingo
