Hello,

You were looking for suggestions for a starter Doepfer system.
I can't relate to the starter system choices Doepfer lists in their catalog.
Especially if what you choose should be tailored for your purpose.

May I suggest, instead, for a starter system:

A-108 VCF8
A-111 VCO2 X 3
A-114 RING MOD
A-118 NOISE
A-131 VCA Exponential
A-138c PMIX
A-139 HPA
A-140 ADSR
A-141 VCADSR
A-146 LFO2
A-148 Dual S&H
A-156 QNT
A-165 Trg Modif
A-170 SL
A-180 Mult
A-190 MCVS
Blind plate 2
Power
Suitcase
30 cm patch cable x 10
50 cm patch cable x 20

This particular setup comes rather close to the contents of the ARP-2600
minus the reverb. I have a graphic if you're interested. And now that
power can be put in the back you have room for another 8HP of module...

I'll post again for a supplemental system.
