AW: [Doepfer_a100] Re: any more ideas for exotic future A100 modules?

2006-05-08 by Dieter Doepfer

We had a radio module at the NAMM (for vocoder demo). It was nothing but a
0.99$ FM radio sticked on a A-100 blind panel and a special cable (3.5mm
stereo -> 2 x 3.5mm mono). Unfortunately it did not work in the basement at
the NAMM (this is why we removed the "module" again). Maybe we will have to
book a booth at first floor next year to demonstrate the "radio module" :-)

It is possible to modify the A-118 to use an external signal for the random
section (instead of the noise source). In combination with the new universal
vactrol module A-101-9 the random rate of the A-118 can even be voltage
controlled.

Best wishes
