Hi, I am a newbie who is just starting up. I have the Doepfer A-100BS2 and am starting to fill and LC9. I bought an A-188-1 and think I have made a mistake. On the panel is states that it is an A-188-1 but none of the stages are marked? I cannot see anything like this listed anyw

Unfortunately the Service Manual for the WASP does not contain the exact IC type. But there exist buffered and unbuffered versions: CD4069BE is the buffered CD4069UB or CD4069UBE is the unbuffered one. Maybe the original circuit requires the unbuffered ones, whil you usually will

I'd be interested to find out what the issue is myself here. Mine (bought s/h) has exactly the same issue. Did post about this ages ago but haven't been using the modular much. My Wasp was working fine, had it out of the case for a while and on putting it back in got exactly thos

Hi Dieter, I have followed the calibration process in the service manual, and I can achieve very good results. However, when I switch the DE2 off, and then on again several hours later, the volt/octave calibration has slipped again. I retest only after the unit has been on for an

You may re-adjust the scale. The corresponding trimming potentiometer is described in the additional technical document for Dark Energy II. If this does not solve the problems may order the tempco circuit as a spare part. Best wishes Dieter Doepfer > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht-

I have had my DE mk2 a couple of years now, and it has proved a great companion to my DE mk1. Tuning stability and tracking performance have been great, as long as I remember to allow around 30 minutes from switching on, for the DE mk2's tuning to stabilise. A couple of days ago

Hi, Schneldersladen have replaced my A-188-1, and the replacement works perfectly. What a great device the BBD is. My thanks to everyone who helped me identify my original unit was unwell! I love happy endings! Blair

If the module is new please return it to the dealer where you purchased the module. If you try to do the repair yourself the warranty is void ! Best wishes Dieter Doepfer > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.com > [mailto:Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.co

Hi gang! I bought an A-124 Wasp filter the other day, and finally got a chance to try it out today... but I think it's broken. The bandpass output is silent, and the LP/HP output is silent for the LP part and audible for the HP part, but it doesn't sound particularly filtered. I'

Dieter, Thank you for your analysis. Yes, my A-188 is still under warranty (it was only purchased three weeks ago). I have slready contactef Schneidersladen, and I will return the unit to them for repair. In the meantime I can use my A-199 spring reverb for effects, as that works

Sounds to me like a faulty exponential converter of the high-speed VCO. Probably the transistor array CA3096 has to be replaced. If the module is still under warranty please return it to Schneidersladen. Otherwise I'd recommend to look for a CA3096 and replace the existing circui

Florian, Thanks for posting the link to the sound clip. My 1-188-1 generates no clear repeats like those in the mp3. In fact it generates no repeats atall, even with Delay Clock set to zero. I don't hear the clock noise and aliasing at this setting either. If I turn the feedback

The old A-148 should be able to process signals in the -8V...+8V range. Otherwise the module is faulty and has to be repaired (probably one or more of the integrated circuits is defective, maybe the CD4053 - but that's only a guess). Best wishes Dieter Doepfer > -----Ursprünglich

Thanks Dieter! I'm still wondering if my unit is only handling a smaller range as I thought the A-110 outputs should be about +/-5V? Anyway attenuate and it's fine. Martin Sent from my iPhone On 24 Mar 2014, at 10:56, wrote: > Please refer to the A-148 info page: > > "Since Augus

Hmm, if you turn the clock frequency down, can you hear the clock as a high pitch? It sounds like your particular module might be calibrated to be a higher frequency than mine..? The 1024 stage BBD module I have makes for a great chorus/flanger and can just about do very short de
2014-03-24 by Florian Anwander
Hello Blair I found http://www.doepfer.net/A100_sounds/BBD_1024_fullrange_manual.mp3 It seems to be a full turn of the Delay-Clock potentiometer. No other controll voltage is connected to the module. You may check whether your module provides similar results. Florian
2014-03-24 by blair_cowan@mac.com
Zoe, Jakob, Thanks for your replies. My unit produces great flange and chorus fx, but absolutely no audible repeats! The chip is a BD3207, which I think offers a less impressive slow delay, but can reach faster clock speeds. This may be case of individual chips behaving slightly

Please refer to the A-148 info page: "Since August 2005 an improved version of the module is manufactured: For each sub-module the operation mode S&H (sample&hold) or T&H (track&hold) can be selected by a jumper. In T&H mode the output signal follows the input signal while the tr

Hi Blair, it sounds like your unit behaves like it should. For slower and more pronounced delays you might have chosen the BBD with 4096 stages or the Tapped BBD. Cheers Jakob Am 24.03.2014 10:02 schrieb blair_cowan@mac.com >: Hi, I recently took delivery if one of these units, a

Further to the emails last week I've now received the problem A-148 back. Testing it myself I've noticed that bad behaviour is related to the amplitude of the Smp In signal. Low enough, all good, turn it up and I get what seems to be false triggers with a low value taken. With an
2014-03-24 by Zoë Blade
Hi! I think if the flange/chorus sound is working, then the BBD's working in general. The delay effect isn't something different, it's the exact same effect only much slower. In my opinion, once you get the delay clock knob below about half way, you get a bit too much signal degr
