What Doepfer module tutorial next? (see description for list)

[@1heUndertaker]

Your opinions and thoughts are very interesting, thank you for sharing your experiences! Looking forward to the other modules which you have. I'm just starting on the modular journey and your videos help much !

[@Detroit-Berlin]

thank you 🙏 glad you are inspired by my videos

[@gunnarwaage4343]

Thanks for this video, I have this module and I was actually working with it today, its very inspirering, Brings about quite unexpected results. A very underrated module.

[@Detroit-Berlin]

Absolutely true 😊

[@heliumsoundzzz]

It's really puzzling what's possible to obtain as quirky groove from this module that I've never been interested in before. At times I feel I'm back in old Black Dice vibes. Great thanks for the discovery and great review, I really appreciate 😉

[@Detroit-Berlin]

Thanks 🙏

[@thomas854]

If your are into Techno, the A-143-1 is the perfect module to get your sequences "off the grid"

[@Detroit-Berlin]

that’s true and I use this module for this purpose most of the time

[@assistantassistant5516]

That was really great and helpful - thank you! Gruss von LA.

[@Detroit-Berlin]

thanks 👍

[@rasmusnordholt-frieling8427]

Love your doepfer Videos!

[@Detroit-Berlin]

thank you 🙏

[@marcomeyer7895]

thank you!!!

[@Detroit-Berlin]

You're welcome 🙂

[@Bagfuld]

+ Very good video. I almost sold this module but now I will give it another try :-)

[@Detroit-Berlin]

It’s also great when in audio range 👍 The magic happens when you get good in adjusting the 3rd and 4th knob of each row

[@Bagfuld]

I look forward to try that too, thanks. ​

[@Detroit-Berlin]

@@Bagfuld you’re welcome 😊

[@briesmodular]

I feel, and this might sound contradictory, the more modules you have the more you appreciate the ones that are a little bit bigger. In a dense patch they are much easier to navigate. In the end it's the power-supplies that are the most expensive, not the wood or even the rails, so there's no reason to cram 100 modules in 84HP as a big module doesn't necessarily drain more power.

[@Detroit-Berlin]

I totally agree 👍 I’ve always liked bigger modules and modules where the jacks are all on the top or bottom as this makes ergonomics so much better. Even 8hp modules with the jacks all over the front-plate are hard to navigate when there’s a lot of patching going on. I would say blanking panels are your best friend in that situation, I might do an episode on those 😅

[@thebobbybabbitt7703]

Totally agree. As I grow my system to its size now, I don't mind adding in a 28 hp module. As long as it earns its space

[@jeffehrenberg1650]

Thank you!

[@Detroit-Berlin]

you’re welcome 😊

[@danieleden1856]

Great video ! It's definitely a daunting module until you break it down like you've done

[@Detroit-Berlin]

thanks 😊

[@forwardmemory5940]

Thank you for this video. I’ve been into modular for 12 years and have had lots of Doepfer modules. Due to its size and not understanding it’s possibilities it’s been under my radar. Until now that is - I just picked it up after watching your video a few weeks ago. What is the filter that you use at the start of the video?

[@Detroit-Berlin]

thanks 🙏 I believe I was using the arp 2500 filter

[@forwardmemory5940]

Thank you for replying so quickly! Do you mean the Behringer Multi Filter/Resonator 1047?

[@Detroit-Berlin]

@@forwardmemory5940 yes the B one 🙂

[@forwardmemory5940]

@@Detroit-Berlin Thanks, I’ll order it through your link :)

[@Detroit-Berlin]

@@forwardmemory5940 🙏 that would be awesome

[@raskolnikov1242]

Is it what the poly envelope from Verbos kinda mimics?

[@Detroit-Berlin]

Sorry I’m not familiar with that module.

[@66Gollum]

Maybe I missed it, but I can not make it work as simple independent 4 ADSR

[@Detroit-Berlin]

make sure the switches are in AD mode, trigger each channel individually, use each output individually and it should work. It’s not an ADSR but only Attack and Decay

[@Detroit-Berlin]

also note that when nothing is inserted in the trig inputs then the trig output of previous envelope is normalised to the trig input of that channel

[@binarybotany3218]

28 HP 😑

[@Detroit-Berlin]

In my opinion it is totally worth it, plus you have wiggle room for your fingers 🙂

[@binarybotany3218]

​@@Detroit-Berlin I agree! Kind of a must-have for my techno system. Maybe I can move some stuff around in my plan on Modular Grid 😅

[@Detroit-Berlin]

@@binarybotany3218 that’s a good idea 👍
