Members r05c03 Posted March 23, 2009 Members Share Posted March 23, 2009 Very interesting. I think I approve as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soundxplorer Posted March 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 23, 2009 Guess I should say SEMI modular.I wonder which filter they put in it?Probably a 4-pole lowpass. Everyone loves a 4-pole lowpass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mate_stubb Posted March 23, 2009 Members Share Posted March 23, 2009 It's just so vanilla. For the real estate expended, something like a Serge M panel appeals to me more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hogberto Posted March 23, 2009 Members Share Posted March 23, 2009 it's on the doepfer home page in the form of the module A111-5, for fitting into your Eurorack modular. http://www.doepfer.de/home_e.htm click on the picture and it brings up a section about it. intriguingly one of the proposed applications for the module is a 4 voice polyphonic modular synth. my credit card is vibrating in my pocket already.

Members carbon111 Posted March 23, 2009 Members Share Posted March 23, 2009 It's just so vanilla. For the real estate expended, something like a Serge M panel appeals to me more. It would cost three times as much...but, yeah, the M-class Creature is a ton of fun in 7"x7". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I thought that a polyphonic modular would be really cool, until I had one. Even with a giant wall of modules, all I could do was spend a half hour to patch up the equivalent of a Jupiter 4 or slightly better. There was no musical point to that, with my Chroma sitting right next to it. Autorunning evolving drones and sequences, and bug music, is where a modular is at!

Three times PLUS a power supply, right? I was excited about the Creature until I figured out you had to spend another $500 on the rack and PSU. I wish they had made it a stand-alone.

I was excited about the Creature until I figured out you had to spend another $500 on the rack and PSU. I wish they had made it a stand-alone. The PS is an additional $200 - which can power up to 4 M-odules. Then just slap that Creature in a nice wooden box...you could make it with a hinging lid (with patch cord storage in the lid). I kind of want to do that myself but my table saw is a POS...and the final result probably wouldn't look so hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Speedyjx Posted March 24, 2009 Members Share Posted March 24, 2009 I kinda like the idea of this if it does happen. Sound On Sound's article on modular synths kick started the GAS a little bit for me, so something like this as an entry level modular would be pretty nice, especially if it is at that proposed price!

Even with a giant wall of modules, all I could do was spend a half hour to patch up the equivalent of a Jupiter 4 or slightly better. Using it for poly isn;t playing to a modulars strengths, though i guess on the flipside, there's still some cool {censored} to be done there, like oberheim 4 voice type antics, and you still have all the modules there for other purposes. Doepfer have a 3 voice poly midi-cv in the pipeline, so guess that given that things are fairly tight atm, the new module is quite a smart move... it's a lower cost/space alternative for building a modular poly. That and they know that modulars are addicting, so if you get the setup and dig it, the first thing people will do when they've got the dosh again is to start adding in more oscs, mod sources etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members T-Bot Posted March 24, 2009 Members Share Posted March 24, 2009 Looks nice. I've been tossing up between the Cwejman VM-1, the Doepfer A111.5 (same as the dark energy) or a minicase with midi to cv/vco/adsr/moog ladder filter. Any thoughts? It is my first step into modular synthesis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stikygum Posted March 24, 2009 Members Share Posted March 24, 2009 Looks nice and a good idea for some that just wants a simple doepfer synth and intro into modular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members girevik Posted March 24, 2009 Members Share Posted March 24, 2009 Using it for poly isn;t playing to a modulars strengths, He did try though, so I gotta respect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Purity_Control Posted March 24, 2009 Members Share Posted March 24, 2009 oh, i'm not suggesting i disagree with trying! i regularly patch mine as a duophonic, and might just have to grab the poly cv when it comes along. i think a 3 voice with moog clone filters might just be worth the effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Acid Hazard Posted March 24, 2009 Members Share Posted March 24, 2009 Looks like something i could dig. May be time to sell the MS-404... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members willi Posted May 3, 2009 Members Share Posted May 3, 2009 Cost issues aside, isn't having enough mults the only real barrier to having a functional and usable poly modular? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
