There's a bit of snobbery in the forums for most Doepfer modules however what you get is something that isn't glamorous, won't do amazing tricks that you didnt expect, but something that is logical, easy to use and most importantly easy to control.The Doepfer A-140 ADSR is a great example of simple, effective design and it gets used regularly to add control to some of the wilder sounds designed. Lets face it, it's not the most attractive of modules and when you line up set of the Doepfer modules in a unit there is a higher risk of falling asleep spontaneously but they are workhorses and worth the money!
