A-135-5 Polyphonic Mixer

The long-awaited polyphonic mixer A-135-5 is now finally available since the end of 2023. Yes, of course you could already make do with A-130-8 VCAs, for example. Some poly fans also installed a series of A-138n narrow mixers or A-138f dual crossfaders, but of course it wasn’t all that elegant. The A-135-5 mixer is elegant. … Read more

A-131 Exponential Voltage Controlled Amplifier

The A-131 module is the “sibling module” of the A-130 VCA. In contrast to this, it works with an exponential characteristic, but is otherwise identical. This makes it rather unsuitable for amplifying control voltages, but in most cases it is very suitable for amplifying audio signals. User interface Inputs: Outputs: Controls: A slightly “coloring” VCA … Read more

A-130 Linear Voltage Controlled Amplifier

The A-130 Voltage Controlled Amplifier is a (very well-equipped) linear VCA. The “sibling module” A-131 works with exponential characteristics, but is otherwise identically equipped. It has already been shown with the mixers A-138a (linear) and A-138b (exponential) that an exponential characteristic of the amplification comes closer to our psychophysiological feeling of a “perceived linear” volume … Read more

A-132-8 Octal Poly VCA

The A-132-8 is a module designed for polyphonic operation with 4 voices with a total of 8 VCAs. Why so many VCAs, one might ask, wouldn’t 4 be enough? Two VCAs connected in series are responsible for each of the four synthesizer voices on the A-132-8: The first VCA always works linearly, the VCA afterwards … Read more
