The rene looks like a fun sequencer when is it going to be available? As far as oscillators go how do you rate the Z3000? I would love a macbeth but sh!t its expensive. I really like the cjewman and wiard/malekko modules as well, I'm thinking about getting an ADSR-VC2 as my main eg and tossing up between a VCO-6, Anti Oscillator or RS85E as my second VCO. Borg filter, Noisering and Bubblesound uLFO look nice as well. But I'm only a couple days in and still have plenty to research. I would like to only use my computer as a tape recorder but one thing at a time. So I'm going to get an analog sequencer, thinking the a-155. I would like to sync my 808 and other gear to the eurorack as well..what do you think? any ideas?
the Z3000 is a great VCO, one of my favourites. FM is awesome on it.
the A155 is an ordinary sequencer till you add the A154, then it becomes an absolute beast. its a must have combo.
ive just bought another A154 to go with my second A155.
if you want to make house or techno or anything else for that matter this pair of machines is the bollox.
if you can afford 2 of each and you've got space you'll never need anything else for sequencing (including the computer) ever again.
if i was making more experimental stuff i could probably get away without the A155/154, but it would still do loads of different jobs.
you've got to forget your standard idea of sequnecing and just use them as 'other modules'
this is the thing that is so hard to explain to anyone embarking on modular. everyone comes at it with the formula of how to make techno and use synths in their heads (including myself) you'll move on really quickly.
