Doepfer

Hello, All!

I am currently the owner of two Doepfer 404s and a Doepfer Maq 16/3
(And quite happy with them, I might add!)  Within the next few weeks, 
I indend to [finally] purchase an A100 system.  But before I do so, I 
thought I'd ask for some advice from the group.  

My intentions are to purchase a sytem with about as many modules as 
the Basic System - perhaps a few more and not necessarily the same 
modules as the pre-configured basic system.  Note, I'm interested in 
exploring more esoteric patching techniques (I've got other 
synths for the basics).  What modules might one recommend?  What are 
the group favorites (i.e., no one should be without module "A???" )  
Is there a module available that is similar to Buchla's "Source of 
Uncertainty?" (random voltage)  Which are the most recommended 
alternate controllers?  What praises/caveats should I be aware of?  
Are there any CV keyboards are on the market that can send polyphonic 
voltages?  etc...  I'm particularly fond of the sound of the Moog 
modular, Buchla and Oberheim SEM 4-voice, so any advice that might 
get me close to this would be welcome.
 
Also can anyone provide me with some feedback of utilizing the 
Doefper Shaltwerk with the A100?  (Which I also am interetsed in 
purchasing). 

And the big question...if you only own one modular, why did you 
choose the A100 over the other brands of modulars available today? 
(Analog Solutions, Modcan, Wiard, etc.)

I hope I haven't opened up too many questions at once, but since I 
have no way of trying one out in person, I decided to rely on the 
experiences of the current A100 community.  :-)

Thanks.

Kindest regards,
John
