Enter your vote today!  A new poll has been created for the 
Doepfer_a100 group:

How would you like the forthcoming A138d crossfader module to be realized? [for a suggested module sketch look here: 
http://www.doepfer.de/a138d.htm ] regarding your options to choose from: 1. A complete module similar to the suggested A-138d

2. An expansion module that has to be connected to an existing A-138 (a or
b). This would be a little bit cheaper as the electronics of the A-138 can
be used (but not much as the electromechanical parts remain the same and the
electronics is not very expensive). For this solution the single outputs
would not be available and a little bit of soldering is necessary (2 wires
have to be soldered to the A-138). I don't think that this solution is
meaningful.

3. same as 2. but only as a DIY project. It's very simple. Most of the work
will be the front panel processing. The "electronics" is only a few
resistors some potentiometers. I can publish the schematics on the A-100 DIY
page.
 

  o option 1. 
  o option 2. 
  o option 3.

I think this would be a great module if it were a bit more flexible
and performance-oriented. 
CV in for the crossfader would be nice. CV ins for all of the ins and
outs would be awesome.
Transform buttons, like the ones on DJ mixers, would be a nice touch
for live use/mixing. A gate option here would add a lot of flexibility
to the module. 
I would also be willing to sacrifice a little extra cash as well as
some panel space for a better/bigger crossfader. A modulation wheel or
removable crossfader (again borrowing from a DJ mixer) would be cool. 

Would this also work as a cv mixer or is that not possible? 

Anyways, long story short, I would like to see this module do as much
as possible.

Cheers
Paul

The A-134 is a voltage controlled crossfader and can be controlled e.g. from
an external crossfader or modulation wheel that simply generates the control
voltage for the A134.

Hi Paul

This module _is_ performance orientated. This means: real manual work, 
no cv. It is a simple crossfader for real live stage action.

If you want cv control a dedicated crossmixer is obsolete, because it 
can be achived by VCAs and/or VC-mixers and an voltage inverter.


> Transform buttons, like the ones on DJ mixers, would be a nice touch

Ok, it has a mute toggle switch. Something like the inversion of a 
Transformer button.

Again: simple VCAs can do this already.

I'd like to have simple modules. If I want complex functions, I combine 
several modules.

A panel with two standard mod wheels would be very nice to compliment  
this and other modules. One wheel could be the standard mod function  
with a low-to-high output voltage and the other would be the standard  
pitch bend configuration with bipolar CV out. A removable spring  
return or just a heavy center detent would be great. Just mounted in  
a panel with the output jacks at the top and your ready to go (range  
adjustment could be at the receiving module). As a added cool factor  
- if the wheels were clear plexiglass - sidelight them with a blue  
led. VERY cool looking. Even better would be a blue/red or other  
combo that would change through the color spectrum as the wheel was  
moved. I know that is pretty wild but a bank of them in the bottom  
row of a portable case would look very, very, cool.  Why should only  
the light show guys have the fancy looking rigs!

I would knee down, if someone would build such a modwheel ;-)

:-)))))

Nevertheless: a Modwheel module would be a really great addon. As the 
crossfader.

A collection of controllers (wheels, joystick, buttons) is planned for the
control box (expansion box for the planned CV/gate keyboard). I believe that
a horizontal mounting of the controllers is more useful that a vertical
mounting in a module. But if there are sufficient inquiries we could offer a
"wheel module". How about a poll ?

An additional controlbox should be a simple 3HU rack in a desktop housing.
Something similar like
http://www.buerklin.com/gruppen/KapH/H160100.asp
http://www.buerklin.com/images/bild.asp?Bild=KapH/H160100.jpg

So each kind of module could be inserted into this expansion box

How about the new "A-100 beauty case" :-)

OMG, I can't believe you're doing this...that is hilarious!  It'd be a
cinch to work up a little one-osc mini-synth...fantastic!

The "beauty case" is really great.

But I think the addon case for controller moduls should fit smoothly to 
the keyboard. Imagine something looking like the monomachine

Just a little explanation:

We have many customers asking for a small audio processing set with a few
modules only (mainly filters with corresponding modulation sources). So far
we had available only the A-100 miniature power supply but no case. This is
why we decided to offer the miniature case.

I did not mention the plans for the mini case in the group as most of the
members use the A-100 in a completely different way . They tend more to
monster than mini cases ...

Would cases & power supplies of any or all of these be
compatible with Wiard Model 1211 "Joystick Axis Generator?"

Hello sfrules, no idea wether the JAG will run on +/-12V. Grant will
know. Frac Rack and Euro Rack differ in both FP-size and the position
of the mounting holes. Thus the JAG won't fit into the "Beauty Case"
either of them has to be modified.
If I'm not mistaken the Buerklin case requires an individually
designed FP to which any modules "guts" have to be mounted. Regards, Ingo

Hi,

I just got a 101-1 Steiner filter, and it doesn't seem
to be acting right. The lowpass and bandpass inputs
doesn't pass anything, the highpass passes everything,
the frequency knob does nothing, and the emphasis knob
does nothing but make a thump-thump-thump noise when
it's all the way up.

I've tried all sorts of signals through it to no
avail. Should I send this back to Analogue Haven, or
to Doepfer, or is this something I can fix myself?

-thanks
-neil

Sounds broken to me. Give the nice folks at Analogue Haven a call.
They will take care of it. That filter is very useful, I'm sure you'll
enjoy it when it's working propery.

Do the front panel LEDs react as they should ?

Normally there is nothing you can fix yourself and you should send it back
to Analogue Haven if the module does not work as it should.

Thanks, Ingo.
Insight appreciated!
