The Direface ES3 means I don't need something to boost the mic up to A100 signal strength.  I was using a Waldorf XT as the carrier signal - the polyphony and the ability to get moving, bright sounds made me use the XT for my first experiments. I'm hoping to replace my voice with Shortwave radio sounds - but there is no signal in my studio as it is in the basement. I'm gonna need a very long arial!!

>> The sales of the A-129-1/2 became very poor during the last few years (less than 5 per month). In addition the VCAs used in the A-129-2 (CEM3381) are no longer available. So we decided to stop the A-129 series as a redesign does not make sense because of the poor sales.

>> We have one last A-129-1/2 combo with blue LEDs left which you could order from us directly. Please address your order to me directly (hardware@doepfer.de) as the sales office would tell you that the modules are sold out.
