Doepfer

Hello again, 

I have found a second A-111-5 for my Doepfer box (I have enough modules than one P-6 case is largely Makenoise, another P-6 is largely Doepfer and there are some LC cases as well). Joy! Wish I could find these new, but since I can’t, I have to pick them up second-hand.  

I connected them both up and they sound splendid. No real tuning issues I need to care about. The only thing that mystifies me is that one unit is a bit louder than the second no matter how I plug things.One seems to be a bit below “typical” Eurorack levels. Not terribly so, but still significant enough that it would require me to constantly work around it by changing the output level. Could it be that one VCA knob is out of alignment? I am still quite new to the A-111-5. Perhaps there is something I am missing? I have an O’Tool Plus that I can use as a voltmeter or levels meter. If I am to adjust trimming pot R23 (have not tried), is there a set volume or voltage that I should tune both to? 

I appreciate this forum so much! 

Thanks!

The output level of the A-111-5 was defined by a resistor (R66, standard
value 47k). If the resistor is replaced you may change the output level
(e.g. 100k for twice the level).

In this regard another question to all members: We receive a lot of
inquiries for the A-111-5 in the vintage version. If anybody knows a
reliable source for CEM3394 (not only one piece but at least a few) please
let me know. If we can find a noteworthy quantity we may manufacture a
limited vintage version of the A-111-5.

Thank you
Dieter Doepfer

CEM3340 are no problem because they are manufactured again. But the A-111-5
used CEM3394. Sorry -there are no plans for a module version of Dark Energy
II.

If the AX-73 is still working I think it's not a good idea to remove the
chips for building A-111-5. I'm against the cannibalization of working
devices for chip harvesting. If the AX-73 is defective I'll be happy to buy
the CEM3394 from you and to collect them until a noteworthy quantity is
reached (min. 200, otherwise the price would be much higher than before, but
we could also manufacture e.g. 50 units at a higher price).

Personally i dont mind to do the unthinkable and scavenge my 2nd spare AX-73, these akai synths sound awesome but the control design around the cem chips is inflexible in many ways, for instance the only available lfo is also not midi/external trigger-able. I do agree its not the best way but i cant think of what other options there are for obtaining these really obsolete CEM3394's nowadays. They seem to be all bought up, found out that some old arcade games consoles used them too but if you could find these cems, they were soldered directly to the circuit boards and (working) boards are probably collectors items anyway. http://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=607
Unless curtis is going to do a new batch of them or unless somebody is going to open up a box of nos cems its going to be rather unlikely to appear for a useable quantity of CEM3394's.

Looks interesting. The main problem is to de-solder the chips from a
doubled-sided plated-through board without damage. And then to find out if
they are OK. I'll see if I can find a service provider who can do this job.
But that's a project for the next year ...

Congrats, a collectible. 
I have two of them.

D'oh!! my goof!!!  ^_^  i MEANT "3394" but typed "3340" (a little while ago i cannibalized a 3340 from a dead Pro One to fix a voice in my MKS80 so that was still in my brain buffer)

So, were these Bally Sente boards chips used for the small production 
run of the
DOEPFER A-111-5V MINI SYNTH VOICE (VINTAGE EDITION)?

And could I and other interested still be lucky enough to obtain one 
such module :)

I now read on various supplier websites that this module was available 
for only a very short period of time.

Thanks Tony :) will for sure consider this option 

If anyone sees them still in stock at europe located dealers (where i
live) id also like to learn that too. Thanks in advance!

We collected about 100 CEM3394 from different sources for the limited
edition of the A-111-5V. A few of them (about 25-30) were desoldered from
the Bally Sente boards.

Best wishes

Nice to hear you were able to still source that much cem3394 altogether
and took the care to desolder some of those, but probably this then was
for the very last batch. The outcome catched me a little by surprise but
Patryk from modemmodular helped me to obtain 2 of these modules (thanks
Patryk). One of these has cem3394 rev 8609, the other i still have to
check. Because the older modules here have the aluminium faceplate i was
wondering if there are extra knobs / faceplates available (either black
or aluminium) so i would be able to replace one or the other to get an
unified look for all a-111-5 modules? 

Thanks in advance and all have a good (modular) weekend.

I'm sorry - we have no surplus front panels A-111-5V available. Due to
problems in the anodizing company we have avtually only 97 of the black
panels available (i.e. 3 less than required) and will have to manufacture 3
of the 100 modules with the silver standard panels.

Best wishes
