Best Doepfer A-154 Vintage Edition Alternatives

This module cannot be used on it's own, but rather is intended to provide additional facilities for the A-149.1 which generates random voltages (which can be quantised). It provides eight digital outputs each of which switches at random but synchronised to the clock input of the A-149.1. I have found it useful for generating random "note on" and "note off" signals when creating random self-generating musical sequences (Stochastic music). Used in combination with a logic module A-166 a useful range of signals can be generated at different time intervals to make the music more interesting to the ear, rather than all the notes being the same length. There are numerous other uses for randomly generated logic signals in a modular system apart from triggering envelope generators.

I first considered starting with just a Master+P2B8, but I'm glade I added the X7. Especially if you'r starting with Droid-Patch writing and want to learn by trial and error, it would be very annoying having to deal with the SD-card for every change you make. Thanks to the X7 I can deploy changes via. USB with one key stroke and immediately see/hear the result. The 4 Gate-outlets and the MIDI I/O are a nice bonus in my use case,.. but Patch deployment via SysEx/USB is the killer feature of the X7 for me.

It's good to have something that quickly shift clocks in different order. The most useable ON/Off switch for my setup is Counting ,if you are experimental, the result will be unpredictable in a good way. The only downside is. If you own TipTop Audio mantis case, you could not install your 4ms Rotating Clock Divider, because the expander ribbon cable at the back is hitting/blocking your way to mount it in. And you cannot install it. So After the purchase of 4ms R.C.D Breakout module. I have to move both modules in another case that fits in.

A vital addition to the Doepfer A-155 sequencer, the A-154 adds playback mode changes (forward, backward, pendulum, and random) as well as one shot modes. It also adds what's called "pulse width" and this isn't what you might think - This actually adjusts the length of the gate/trigger output from the sequencer, and CV control over everything. The sequence controller replaces some of the functions of the A-155, but there's the ability to turn these new controls off and resume the A-155 as a stand alone sequencer as if you hadn't connected the A-154. It also offers the ability to switch between one and two A-155 modules in a single sequence. The switch that's labeled 8-16 gives one the impression that it can turn any sequence with a single A-155 into a 16 step sequencer, but...
