Bakis!

That's really good to hear as I've almost descided to go for an a100, much
because I live in Sweden so it's a bit cheaper (though chris carter had some
opinions on AS modules having more specs and therefore worth the extra
bucks, well well). But the sound and the reputation I've heard so far don't
put it in the shade either! At this stage I've planned to use it mainly to
process/filter/trash sounds, drones, strings whatever. So, I'm actually
thinking of going for a completely VCO-less system and use the oscillators
from my system100 instead until I can afford another rack, but I'm not qite
shure yet. After what I've heard the a100 and Roland is supposed to
cooperate fully, do you know anything about this My plan is also to
integrate the system100 sequenser as well..

Well, I'll start planning my system this weekend I hope, there'll probably
pop up one or two questions then since there are a few modules to choose
from, ehum... just desciding what filters to go for... phew! I'll be most
grateful for all the help I can get at that stage, after all it's not quite
the same thing as building patches on my nord... ;-)

Meanwhile, thanks a lot for your help!!! Large descisions waiting round the
corner...
