"Our source for the 512 and 4096 stages BBD seems to
be very unreliable.
After they have offered the parts and send me the
proforma invoice I
transferred the money to their account. When the money
arrived at their
account they informed me that they made a mistake and
that the circuits are
not available. That's a very bad business style. Now I
try to get at least
the money back but for the last week I got no answer
from them. Bad news!
But I don't give up and will try to find another
supplier who offers the
parts at a reasonable price (we will not pay US$50).
Consequently I cannot
promise that the A-188-1 will be available with 512 or
4096 stages
(A-188-1A/D). There are no problems with the 1024 and
2048 stages BBD. We
have sufficient stock of these circuits. We will also
offer the A-188-1
without BBD chip and the user could add the BBD chip
he wants to use (e.g.
MN3004/3204 = 512 stages, MN3005/3205 = 4096 stages,
MN3006/3206/3306 = 128
stages, MN3007/3207/3307 = 1024 stages, MN3008/3208 =
2048 stages,
MN3009/MN3209/3309 = 256 stages).

The A-188-1 and A-101-9 are now in production and we
expect the first batch
of the modules ~ middle of April 2006. As the first
batch of the A-188-1 is
already nearly sold out a second batch will follow in
May.

These modules are in the design state:

precision adder/bus access (probably 3 CV inputs
without attenuator + 1 CV
input with attenuator, jumper for CV -> bus, 2 or 3
parallel CV outputs at
the front panel)
low frequency 4 phase oscillator (sine + cosine +
invertet sine + inverted
cosine, same as 0/90/180/270 degree sine)
manual gate module with time measuring feature (i.e.
the time between two or
4 or 8 button operations is used to define a time
base)
VC bypass (nothing but a VC switch with
attenuators/amplifiers for both
inputs to compensate level differences, especially for
use as VC audio
bypass e.g. for filters or other sound processing
modules)
simple low cost Midi-to-CV converter with 16 outputs
(replacement for A-191)
as an OEM module
simple CV-to-Midi converter with 64 inputs as OEM an
module (so far not
planned as an A-100 module)
TKB electronics as an OEM module

And of course we have to finish the modules that are
already in the
prototype state:

TKB
normal CV keyboard
controller box for the keyboards
SC filter
Thru-Zero quadrature VCO


Best wishes
