Hello! I´m finlay building a little system here.. looking for some god adsr for percussion (main thing for me right now). Is A-141 fast enough for this? also looking at cwejman modules everybody says should be used for this but these are expensive!
any thouhgt to a newbee like me on this? also says hello to old fiends from AH list :)
peace

the A140 is pretty fast and should be ok for what you want.
not cv-controlled though.

I'll second this.  It's got a switch to toggle between slow, medium and fast.  It can get plenty fast enough even on the medium setting. :)  With just a white noise module (A-117 or A-118), the A-140, a multimode filter and ideally a curveball such as the A-199 spring reverb (which can sound very metallic with percussive white noise, like hitting a massive metal drum, sort of), you can make a whole wealth of interesting percussive sounds.  Then you just need a MIDI to CV converter like the A-190-2 to actually trigger the envelope generator and you're all set for percussion!

I haven't used any Cwejman modules, so can't really comment on those.  I hear they're very good, but my motto's to get several inexpensive and versatile modules instead, so I can make a wider variety of sounds.  Doepfer's modules are ideal for this!

All the best,
Zoë.

I often use my A-141 for hi hats with cv control of release to create close -open effect. 
I t can be pretty snappy and clicky! But as a starting system I would go with 2 A-140

thanks for your reply Zoe..
I  have a Cirklon sequencer i just bought the CVIO board to wich give med 8
gates and 16cv outputs, 32 patterns. so i have the trigging sourted out as
those gates can be anywhere from 2ms as shortest..
I now also have looked at a-101-2 lowpassgate wich seems like yet another
way to make short percussion stuff.. controlling decay is essential i think
to make cool evolving percussion.. I also looking to buy a malekko wiard
borg filter (also a lowpassgate)..
peace out..
peter
