Best Doepfer A-165-2 Alternatives

This is a v-trig driven 2 or 3 way switch. The 2/3 step selection is determined by patching an output from the 3rd step. I use a pair of these to extend the 960 sequencers but it has other applications. It switches control voltages so can be used for switching between modulation sources like ADSRs. I have these in a large rig based on the Moog IIIp. I had the original Moog back in the day and these little eurorack clones work the same, are well built, smaller and cheaper. As it is driven by the rising edge of a v-trig you could use it with other systems. It works well with my Doepfer rig too. If you have a 960 sequencer you definitely need one of these.

Not one but three functions in one module. This can operate as a sample and hold or track and hold (just change a jumper) with eight separate channels. It also contains an eight into one, or one to eight way electronic switch. Finally, it can operate as an analogue addressed one-of-eight decoder. Incredibly useful for making random and pseudo-random musical sequences. Get one...

Effectively four circuits packed into this 8HP logic module. There are two logic circuits for combining gates in various ways. The other two circuits are a couple of logic inverters at the bottom. Highly versatile and although I have been using this module for more than a year I still find new ways to use it. Generally I use it to create rhythmic patterns. Sometimes just as a gate or trigger combiner. I like to generate rhythm with the logic circuit and inverted to get the exact opposite then use these two gates to control two VCAs panned to either side of a stereo image to get rhythmic stereo bouncing. The inverters I also find useful for flipping an out of sync gate to bring everything back into time. Plus the inverters can be use simply as a voltage source with nothing plugged into the...
