I have an 18U 100% Doepfer system I have carefully assembled in order to produce complex west coast sounds and sequences. For me Doepfer system A-100 is the ultimate liberation from prejudice, worn out tricks and getting stuck in a comfort zone. I have never been more productive

Absolutely MARTIN Brinkmann, sorry ! :-) The more I use Doepfer modules the more I enthusiastically adore them. They are also so much appealing to me because of their “look”: such a spartan design which makes me feel at ease with the sounds coming out from them, just like I would

The original firmware did not load PD files but the last update does, They used to have a PD template on their Github site (https://github.com/qubitelectronix ) that enabled connections to the front panel controls. Basically the Nebulae is a Raspberry Pi with some added bits. All

Martin Brinkmann, maybe? Just having a look at his patches now, some great looking stuff. AFAIK the Nebulae is powered by a Raspberry Pi and runs LibPD, a small-ish Pd interpreter. There are other solutions, e.g. using the Heavy compiler which can generate optimised code for diff

Does Nebulae load Pure Data files? That's amazing, really! I love that software! Thomas Brinkmann is sharing materials since ever on his web site. Though I can't see to what extent it loads PD files… I did believe that it loads audio WAV files… sincerely I don't know Nebulae at a

When I say “whacky modules” I guess I mean more exotic modules. You can replicate modules like MakeNoise Maths with a bunch of Doepfer modules, as you can with many “east coast” multi-modules, but I have a granular/wave player (the qu-bit Nebulae) that would be not replicated wit

'most of the wacky exotic modules functions can be patched with a few Doepfer modules', indeed, true! ok, for some functions would not only be needed a few doepfer modules, would require more than a few modules, but still this sentence is true. also, me too, i now have a big Doep

Most of the wacky exotic modules functions can be patched with a few Doepfer modules. Problem is that most people nowadays seem to completely oversee why modular is so cool in the first place: Patching your own intricate processes. I started with a Doepfer system in 2004 and by n

To me, Doepfer modules are the foundation on which a well rounded synthesizer system is built. Get the whacky, exotic modules from other makers but the basic modules, the “used in every patch” modules will always be Doepfer in my rig. -James James Husted, Designer, Synthwerks LLC

after working for many years with the Doepfer A100/euro, the Serge and the Buchla modulars, here is my verdict: all the different modular systems have a place in my music. The Serge and the Buchla modulars are just different in sound than the Doepfer A100 /euro modular. they are

I have thought of trying to make a switch module using a set of Vactrols as the switching elements. The inherent lag in Vactrols would not click but it would not be exactly cheap either, and it would’t be fast but it wouldn’t click either. Might be interesting just to check out.

One of the usages I see for this module is to use it along side a CV programmer module (like our Synthwerks PGM-4X4 - http://www.synthwerks.com/pgm-4x4.html ) to not only program CV voltages but also change patch cords for primarily live performance. We have designed a variant of

You're welcome Colum Chasing hints from others on this thread today, you might want to consider patching yourself the cv/gate voltages: disconnect the two jumpers labelled JP2 (CV bus) and JP3 (gate bus). Both jumpers are located on the backside of the A-190-4 circuit board. (Ple
2017-02-06 by Zoë Blade
Everyone else is right. Just to elaborate a bit: Oscillators *always* oscillate, whether you want them to or not. Hardwired synths (the non-modular kind) hide this from you, but with the flexibility of modulars comes the responsibility of having to do all this minutia manually. M
2017-02-06 by Colum Brady
Thank you all for your fast responses. I had a hunch that the Envelope Generator was the missing link in this alright but didn't think to include the VCA in the patch. I'll try your recommendations when I get home tonight. Thanks again, Colum
2017-02-06 by Laurie
I would suggest you don't have an EG or VCA in your path. Look at the patch examples on the Doepfer site http://www.doepfer.de/home_e.htm Their first patch is what you should have with the option that the CV and GATE are taken/to/from the bus rather than patched as shown here Bes
2017-02-06 by ville@oikarinen.org
The idea is that oscillators produce sound all the time. It's the responsibility of an amplifier to attenuate the sound when it's not needed. The typical patch is to control the amplifier with an ADSR, and you can trigger the ADSR from the MIDI module. I hope this was enough deta
2017-02-06 by Jacco Ville
Hi Colum, Welcome to this world. Stopping the oscillator isn't possible. Use a VCA in your patch to attenuate the audio. Use your gate to trigger an envelope which in turn opens the VCA to let your audio pass when you send a midi note to your A190. There are plenty tutorials on t
2017-02-06 by Diego Ragnini
assuming that you use an Envelope Generator in your patch, first check the last segment of the EG , the Release pot: R = in case the EG is not involved in the patch, then I can't see how the gate off (end of note) is performed for every note but the last one... Il giorno 06/feb/2

A few questions/comments based on what limited info is available. 1) Curious as to why the Master/Slave mode? Couldn't this be accomplished by simply normalling the CV jack to the row above? This could potentially enable the same CV to be a toggle one row and be level on the next

I was on holidays until yesterday. That's why I did not answer so far. I'd agree to Florians diagnosis. Only in the worst case it could be the CEM3340. But I think it's a faulty potentiometer or trimming potentiometer or rotary switch. It's impossible to estimate the repair charg

Hello Steve From that video it is possibile that a pitch knob is somehow noisy. Another possibility might be, that the power bus in your rack is somehow influenced. This may happen with so called "switching power supplies" if another module causes sudden load changes on the power

I'm sorry about the troubles with the A-190-8. I wonder why the A-190-8 has more latency than the A-190-2 because from the theory the A-190-8 should be faster as it just has to handle midi clock/start/stop and should not generate any noticeable delay. I ask you to contact Christi
