Doepfer

I recall reading somewhere that all of the A100 modules originally 
had the flat red LEDs, and the Doepfer converted over completely to 
the round orange-ish LEDs. I don't think any flat LED modules have 
been produced since then, and it affected all of the modules, so it 
didn't coincide with design mods as far as I know.

Its possible, though, that Doepfer has made changes to various 
modules over time that haven't been reflected in version #s.

Maybe in a few years the flat LED modules will be considered a rare 
collectors item ;-)
