Back again I continue to get you some more data... > > Today I had been at the Musikmesse (with Juergen Haible from AH BTW) > > What are the reasons you should continue to read? > > 1) Lots of new Doepfer gear > > 2) A personal impression about the North Lead > > 3) A new design of Roland stickers !!! Well, I release (I know you will like this term) you and let you know the stickers lost their "we design the future" basic design but got colorful and mainstream pop style :-( Looks like they got jealous on Sony or TDK success. You just can't wear them with the proud of a spartanic monophonic mind! > > 4) > That's for lot of more I have seen and am unable to remember yet. > > To begin with the thing of real interest.

Big plus: no switch but all 4 (or 5) waveforms on a seperate out ) BTW: Did you mention the constant drop of 10$ per module? I still miss the 90$ one. I guess that'll be the 400W PA module with integrated refrigerator for constant beer availability :-) Noise / Random : white, colored (blue and red level) random CV (rate and level) LED 50$ Mixer: 8 Bus with 4 FX routings and parametric EQ :-) in fact: 4 ins with attenuator to one out 2 LEDs with pos,neg display 50$ DIVIDER: freq. divider for audio signals rectangel outs (symetric) up to 4 oct below 50$ WAVE SHAPER: nonlinear Waveform processor for modification of incoming waveforms controls for clipping level/symetry 2 ins for clipping modulation with attenuators 50$ (I heard not the big change in sound. At least not in a pleasant way) Clock divider/sequencer clock and reset ins 6 outs frequency divided 8 sequential clock outs for use with sync timin signals 80$ RINGMOD / Voltage inverter 4 Quadrant Multiplier (2 ins one out) 2 CV inverters 50$ DUAL S/H LED control trig in sample in out 50$ each module is 3HE The Rack to hold the babies is about 250$ with power supply with two rows. They also apply the coomon CV/GATE signal to their power bus, to ease the use of standart routing. Thats possible without patching the original CV signal. Don't think of ordering before may! BTW: the project is called A100 if you are now to go and call Doepfer.
