Hello,
Now using a smaller system than the one I was used to, I am considering new modules that would combine different functions of already existing modules in order to save HP.
I'm pointing that I'm now using only Doepfer modules.
For example I think the A184-1 is one of those very practical and economical modules HP-wise.
I'm thinking of a random module that somehow could combine the A117 & A118.
Maybe it would also be possible to add some more functions from the ones available in those two, modules.
At least I'd see :
- random output. In fact it could be two different outputs according on settings of white and colored noise for example,
- a noise output (maybe VC controlled),
- a clock controllable output (like the A117), maybe with optional clock onboard + external clock possible. I really like controlling the A117 with the HSVCO from the A188-1 or 2 (I feel it works less with the A188-2 for some reasons),
Also, more generally, I'd like to see more modules with switches/toggle switches that give the possibility to choose from two different onboard CVs, two different AUDIO outputs or two different modes of that module.
For me those switches are adding a lot of "playability" to a modular synthesizer. For this I really like modules like A150-8 or A173-1-2 but having the switch on the module itself is ever more interesting I think.
Etc.
Just my thoughts.
I would be happy to read other users thoughts on that. Anyone around ? (It has become really really quiet on this forum ?!?).
Bye,
Alexandre
