The A-190-3 is a small midi interface that has a lot of features despite its narrow 6 HP. In comparison to the big A-190-4 you have to make a few compromises – no clock/reset outputs, no midi thru, no software LFO and no display. A supposedly “small” difference should be mentioned: With the A-190-3, 0 … Read more
The A-190-8 is a midi interface specialized in converting midi clock signals into differently divided triggers for the A-100 system. In addition, the Midi start, continue and stop commands are converted into trigger or gate signals, so that analog sequencers in the modular system can be very easily synchronized with a DAW or a groove … Read more
Ratcheting controllers are still somewhat unusual tools in the modular world. Tangerine Dream already used them to create exciting sequences almost 50 years ago. What does a ratcheting controller do? Basically we have the opposite of a clock divider (such as the A-160-2): An incoming clock signal is multiplied, if possible in such a way … Read more
Compared to the A-110-4 Quadrature Thru Zero VCO, the A-110-6 has one more thing on top: We are not dealing with a sine core, but with a trapezoid core. This is a unique design that first creates a trapezoidal waveform, as well as a 90 degree phase-shifted trapezoid (the equivalents of the A-110-4‘s sine and … Read more
Compared to the rather unpretentious predecessor A-147, the new VCDLFO (Voltage Controlled Delayed LFO) is a monster. No fewer than 12 connection sockets on a module that is only 8 HP wide are already an announcement in terms of complexity in a confined space. In fact, Doepfer added a delay function to the voltage-controlled LFO … Read more
The A-168-1 is a small auxiliary module that generates a square or pulse oscillation that can be modulated in width for LFOs or VCOs without a square/pulse. This is an interesting feature for LFOs in particular, since almost all LFOs can generate a fixed, symmetrical square wave (at least the A-146 is capable of manually … Read more
First of all: Wow, what a pompous name! “Quadrature Thru Zero VCO”! That sounds at least like Warp 11, quantum flux compensators and things like that, doesn’t it? The name is actually only topped by the A-110-6 “Trapezoid Thru Zero Quadrature VCO” – we’ll talk about that in a later blog post in this hyperspace … Read more
The A-160-2 actually does exactly what I always wanted from a clock divider. It splits an incoming clock signal in a “musical” way. What does that mean? A simple clock divider like the old A-160-1 counts the input triggers, so to speak, and always divides them into two equal halves, depending on the division factor. … Read more
The A-157 Trigger Sequencer is a sequencer with 8 tracks, which, however, does not output adjustable control voltages like the A-155, but only trigger signals – comparable to the two trigger tracks on the A-155. To program when a trigger is to be sent and when not, there are no longer toggle switches like the … Read more
The A-133-2 is a dual voltage controlled polarizer, meaning its input signals (audio or control voltages) can be amplified like a traditional VCA. With a negative control voltage or a corresponding manual setting, the input signals are amplified in inverted form. An input, a control voltage input, an output, as well as a manual controller … Read more
