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.
