Doepfer

I can't figure the Yahoo mess, so I start a new topic. Sorry.


It is propably too late, but:

- Adding octave switch and/or offset knob to the A-185-2 could make it 
a one stop pitch control center. My controllers and oscillators don't 
have octave switches...

- I might prefer 3 non-inverted outputs and 1 inverted output instead 
of 2 non-inverted outputs and 2 inverted outputs.


Best regards
Jari Jokinen

No one agrees?

Yes that's a very good idea... this should be taken into 
consideration!

Good idea - I wouldn't like to have to use a voltage inverter to reinvert an
inverted voltage just to get an uninverted voltage. Much better to save my
inverter for inverting uninverted voltages in order to get inverted ones.
Also, when doing too many inversions you might inadvertently invert too few
or too many times, which may, in conclusion, cause confusion.

:-P

The octave switch is a good idea.

The production of the CV boards and the front panels for CV Adder should
start next week as there were no additional suggestions since the
announcement of the module in May 2007 and the polls for this module in June
2007. But I'll try to stop the production of the pc boards and front panels.

How about this simple solution: A default voltage of +1.00V is connected to
the switching contacts of the input socktes #1 and #2. This would add these
features:

As long as no cable is connected to input #1 it works as a manually
adjustable offset with up to +/- one octave.
As long as no cable is connected to input #2 it works as an octave switch
(+/- one octave).

With this solution one can decide if the inputs #1 and #2 can be used as
offset control and octave switch or as originally planned.

Best wishes

hello list and Dieter,

i think that these suggestions of Dieter are great and
easy to implement, right?
although, for me, the octave switch feature is not
needed, as the doepfer vco's have octave switches. the
Analogue systems vco do not, but there is a dedicated
analogue systems module called octave controller for
this function. 
but, anyway, the more features the A185-2 has, the
better...

best regards,
Bakis.

I'd only suggest, that inputs #7 and #8 get this voltage adder feature.

I think it is really useful in the adder, because you can't transpose 
the complete setup of several VCOs and the VCF keyboard VC with the 
transpose switch of a single VCO ;-) - no honestly: eg the MonoPoly has 
exactly such a two octave transpose switch, and find it very very useful.

Also I could imagine that people who do not have hands with only five 
left thumbs on each hand will be able to replace one input socket and 
replace it by a switch.

Florian

ok, then.    :-)

How about adding the 1.00 V default voltage to each of the inputs ? That way
each unused input can be used as +/-1 octave switch (even additive to obtain
e.g. +2 octaves).

And the right output sockets are manually wired. If desired we could connect
both to the non-inverting output thus obtaining three non-inverted and one
inverted output. We only have to change the front panel printing. Bakis: How
about a fast poll (should last not longer than one week as we want to go
into production).

this would result in a steady 7 volts at the output (or did I 
misunderstand you?). May be we should think about a real octave 
switching module instead.

btw. is there a preliminary page for this module?

As we have only 4 inputs available the steady states could be in the
range -4V...+4V (with 1.00 voltage steps)

I think it's too late. We are about to start the production next week.

> btw. is there a preliminary page for this module?

Yes, since ~ April or May 2007, e.g. via www(dot)doepfer(dot)com > PRODUCTS
> A-100 > FUTURE MODULES > A-185-2
A corresponding poll has been started on May 11, 2007 - followed by some
discussions.

happy holidays
Dieter

I think this is a good solution.

But Florian, Hello... I got confused too at some point because on that page of the 185-2... 
it actually mentions A185-2 and 185-3.. But Dieter... Its actually all supposed to be one 
module A185-2 correct? not two different versions A185-2 and 185-3?

And the version chosen through the poll is, so far, the one on the far right (4th one)?

Also me too i'm not too keen on two inverted outputs... one could do easily... and for the 
rest... it seems that it doesnt change the basic concept of this module...


Best,

Alexandre

hello Dieter,
ok, please tell me the exact poll text and i'll create
it asap.
best regards,
Bakis.

Right. It's only typing error that occured during the front panel design.
All suggested panels should be labelled "A-185-2".

> And the version chosen through the poll is, so far, the one on the far
right (4th one)?

Yes, but we will probably have available three normal outputs and only one
inverted output. The printing of the front panel still has to be changed.

Have a nice weekend

Poll #1 (default voltage at the switching contacts of the sockets):

Do you want a +1.00 default voltage at the switching contacts of the input
sockets for usage of the control #1 and switch #1 as a common tuning knob
with polarity switch and usage of the switches of the other inputs as +/- 1
octave switches:

- input #1 only
- input #1 and #2
- input #1, #2 and #2
- all inputs

Poll #2 (output options):

- 2 non-inverting outputs, 2 inverting ouputs
- 3 non-inverting outputs, 1 inverting ouput

Thank you and have a nice weekend
Dieter

hello list,

ok, latest Polls are up!
please vote!! you only have 7 days to do so!

best regards,
Bakis.

Dieter, do you think the first version was too narrow? a bit more space a bigger buttons 
make it easier to use? or why that change?

otherwise... no difference in the functions right?


Best,


A

Could the extra space in the new 6HP design of A-164 be used for 
something? For example: miniature multiple for each gate, (or) 
inverted and non-inverted gate outs, (or) mute funtion for each 
switch...

About A-185-2: Did I understand it right, that negative offset will 
be possible? That would be practical IMO.

You find all answers on the A-164-1 info page:

I will see if there is enough space to double the output sockets. Should be
possible.
Inverted gate outputs are not planned as there is no electronics available
on the module.
I dont't understand the function of a mute function. If you don't want a
gate simply do not operate the buttons.

Of course. The switches have three positions: left (voltage is subtracted),
center (no function), right (voltage is added).
If the share of the subtracted voltages is higher than the added voltages
the result is a negative output voltage.

OK

I was thinking the optional on/off function for external signals, as is 
already planned for switch no 1 (referred as "kind of mute function" on 
the A-164 page). I don't know, if this feature would be worth of having 
for each three switches (rather than dual gate outputs).

Anyway, it is good to see some new utility modules appearing, as 
sometimes it is tedious to do seemingly simple tasks. Although not 
perfect for my personal needs, I will certainly get an A-185-2.

I wonder, if it would be stupid idea not to have +/-1V for every 
switch: Perhaps for example +/- 1, 1, 2, 2 volts would be more 
versatile (assuming all four switches will have offset function).

Please, comment - It might be too late already.
