At long last I have finally received my A107, A149-1 and A196. Early impressions are good on all three. Much more experimentation is needed though. At the same time I purchased a pair of A178 Theremin modules. These are very twitchy. I put a basic set-up together to test, A178 a

Bakis, What I liked most was the feeling of restraint. There is a nice darkish texture to the track. The percussive clicks hold the track together. Definitely very nice. David -----Original Message----- From: Bakis Sirros [mailto:synth_freak_2000@yahoo.com] Sent: 09 February 2004

hello david, thanks! in this track i processed a drumkit from nord micromodular with the a136 waveshaper and (if i remember well)the a155 was triggered by the gate output of an a119 into which i conected the micromodular.then the a155 was controlling some parameter of the a136(yo

Hi Tim, thank you very much for the info. Where did you get it? Service manual I suppose. Seems there´s lots of info on the electronics and how to modify them. Man, I´d definitely buy it if it wasn´t so expensive... so far I´ve only got of the A-110 and A-185-part of the service

Be aware that everything built today and in the last 20 years or so (not counting something not a conventional keyboard like a TKB) is actually a MIDI keyboard with a CV converter mounted inside. This is true of the Analogue Systems and the Synhesizers.com units, post-MIDI era mo

Hi, I posted file "First A-131 buzz.mp3", that shows buzz created by the first A-131 VCA I owned. So, you have two different samples from two different A-131 VCAs buzzing in the same way. I removed A-132 sample because there was no space for everything. I also want to thank every

hello bakis, really strange. anyway, my newer a131's are not crystal clear, but they definitely do not sound like zoran's. maybe doepfer changed some more parts on the circuit, or those parts have bigger tolerances than expected. you should also try your polarizer for audio, my a

Hi, thanks for the post. Unfortunatelly, I don't have any old A-131 VCAs! Both units I had problems with are 2 to 7 months old. Please don't get me wrong, but what I am experiencing on both of these A-131s is not occasional distortion at the loudest points, but pitched hum that f

hello zoran, i mostly use 2 old a131, but i also have two newer a131 and i don't have that problem you mentioned. the newer a131 are a bit more noisy, but they do not distort the signal like you described, it is just a bit of hum and you can barely notice it. i believe you, don't
2004-02-04 by Florian Anwander
Hi Zoran The reason for the noise is quite simple to explain. The old A-130/131 used Curtis CEM-VCA-Chips (which is out of production as far as I know), which had low noise. The new 130/131 uses CA3080 OTAs (like the 132 always did). To my knowledge there is no difference between
