The inevitable newbie thread :) - thoughts on a first system...

Hiya

After 25 years making music, its time to get into Eurorack. Been watching the discussions here for some time and have finally set myself on a starter Doepfer bundle of:

Suitcase frame P9
A-110.1 (VCO) x2
A-138b (Mixer)
A-106.6 (VCF)
A-131 (VCA)
A-143-2 (quad envelope)
A-143.4 (VC LFO)
A-190.3 (MIDI-CV)

does that sound like a good starting point? Im looking for a basic starting monosynth, then to build develop and explore effects and multi source mangling from there...

many thanks

Dom

Seems like a very solid starting point to me :-)

Be sure to keep hold of the following when you expand (and you will):

A-143-2 (quad envelope)
A-143.4 (VC LFO)

As both are superb!

You might want to get more VCAs (or a multiple VCA module) and then look into something a bit more "west coast"? Make Noise Maths and/or a Wogglebug.
Also the A-143-4 is a mental Quad VCO & a real FM monster - a really good purchase!
