There are no fixed
rules for which and how many modules are required
in an analog modular system. If you are a beginner,
you might have problems in finding the right
combination of modules for a basic system. Thus, we
have arranged some system packages to start with,
containing the modules in the tables below. The
main difference between the basic systems 1 and 2
is the MIDI interface. System 1 is not equipped
with a MIDI interface. If you want to control this
system with MIDI you need an external MIDI-to-CV
interface (e.g. MCV24 or MCV4). System 2 contains
the MIDI interface A-190 instead of the two modules
A-150 (Dual VCS) and A-162 (Dual Trigger
Delay).
The modules are
mounted into a 6U base frame and each system
contains 30 patch cables (mixed length and color).
The basic systems 1 and 2 are available also as
portable suitcase versions. Because of the 8HP
power input the suitcase versions contain one
module less (system 1: no A-162 / system 2: no
A-170).
Additionally we
offer a minimal 'Entry System' built in to a 3U
base frame with MIDI interface containing all
modules for absolute basic applications of the
A-100.
The purpose and
function of the other modules not included with the
basic systems will become clear while you are
working with the A-100 system. If you want to
expand the basic systems you need an empty frame
(3U or 6U) and the desired additional modules and
patch cords.
