I agree that the Tiptop Buchlas are nicely priced.
You are into LPG, so this is indeed a very good option.
But the Doepfer offering is much wider.
Doepfer has many osc and many filters.
Some doepfer osc are really great.

A couple years into my eurorack journey, and I agree with you.
If I was starting from scratch again Iād just get a decent Doepfer system.

Thatās exactly what I was seeing and telling myself now. Between all the modules, the price and the soundā¦ I think my choice will go here. Do you have examples of VCOs? Iāll take 2 and 4. I saw Quad VCO but it would be more interesting to vary them.
The doepfer quad vco is amazingly good. It has mutiple wafeforms for each out. Ć mixed out.The octave switches are so nice. It is a very deep vco,it covers a very wide synthesis palette.
If you donāt need 4 the 111-3 is also very nice.
The 110-6 sounds extremely fat.
The A-110-4 is also very interesting.
The A-143-4 also sounds wild. The pitch tracking is not the best for this one, but for atonal synthesis it is wild.
I have a very large system. Like really big, 3000 hp, probably more.
The easiest system, and the one that I like the most for synthesis, is the doepfer.
Doepfer also offers very nice filters.
The quad adsr is amazing.
The 143-1 is ace too.
The only things that are missing in doepfer are audio fx. There are a few gems (bitcrusher, frequency divider,ā¦). But for delays and Reverb doepfer is not to my taste.

Wow thanks so much ! And more than 3000hp crazy ! Even if I had the patience to accumulate this, my brain wouldnāt be able to accept it.
Thank you very much for all the advice! Like FX it will be H9 and Volante 
Current setup:
Iām really happy with it but still asking myself if I should sell some modules, buy Moog Labyrinth and make it like this:

doepfer bitcrusher into a-199 spring reverb is my favorite sound! a-112 sampler and the frequency shifter/dual ring mod are nice too. agree that doepfer is pure class, my case is almost 50% doepfer now. some other gems imo are the subharmonic generator, quad adsr/lfo, a-102 diode lpf from the ems vcs3

Nice - Iāve read about the granular options in Mixwitch but havenāt really tried them out as it probably needs to move to a different case first.

This sounds stunning. I havenāt been tempted by anything Tiptop in some time, but I havenāt heard something that sounds like this before. Please tell me thereās something that does this thatās really cheap that Iāve just missed.

It does sound nice, but wouldnāt you have to commit to Tiptopās ART/Polytip system to reap the full benefit? As in, it would be really expensive.

Exactly and thatās not in the budget. But what a sound.

Is the TRIAX8 similar to the 4MS Ensemble OSC in some way? The first half sounded very good but I would not pursue another protocol such as ART. TT does make some nice modules.

I really like the idea of the ART system and if e.g. Bitwig and TipTop would work on some kind devices for addressing ART protocoll (or some kind of Expert Sleepers ART moule), this would open up the TRIAX8 to a hybrid approach. It would be a dream of a poly modular with individual outs and audio via USB, but still more expensive than a Prophetā¦
Wow, 16 analog Oscās (2 per voice) with thru-zero FM! I bet people will be making synth joy/doom with this!

What a sound!
I picked up an S2 system about a year ago, and a few additional ART VCOs that can be controlled via standard CV or ART. Iāve been hesitating on whether I want to more into their Polytip system, but this might be the module that convinces me to do so at some point once the OctoLFO and the Multipass Filter are also available.
Are you suggesting there is a secret array of wave controlling devices under the sphinx?
Rad setup.
