DIETER SAY:
"All the new modules (Morphing Filter A-107, Sequencer
Controller A-154, SSM-Filter A-105) were very
successfull at the NAMM. Without doubt the A-107 was
the module the visitors asked most for as there is no
comparable filter on the market. Some people mentioned
an important feature that is still missing: a reset
input so that the filter sequence could be set to the
first filter with a gate/trigger signal (useful for
the clock-triggered stepping through the filters).
Others recommended to add a second CV input for each
function without attenuator (as for the A-109).
But even many visitors were very interested in the
A-105 (b.t.w. the designer of the SSM2044 visited our
booth and he was very proud that there still a lot of
demand for his "baby"). The visitors checking the
A-154 especially loved the voltage controlled
addressing of the step and they suggested that we
should add this feature in every case to the touch
keyboard too (so we probably will ...). Generally
people asked to introduce all the features of the
A-154 into the touch keyboard. So there is the
question if we should manufacture the A-154 or only
introduce it's features to the touch keyboard (once
more: a lot of new questions). Many people also aked
for a "normal" CV/Gate keyboard with 4 or 5 octaves
with the same features as the touch keyboard. As we
discovered ourselves many visitores mentioned that it
is very difficult to play with the touch keyboard in
the normal way as one has no mechanical references as
for the normal keyboard (e.g. the black keys and the
pressed key). One always has to look at the keyboard
and carefully position the finger not to trigger 2
keys at the same time. So once again the discussion
came up if it would not be better to use normal
rectangle touch plates instead of the keyboard layout
of the touch plates. Anyway - we will start a poll for
the touch keyboard very soon with all these questions
to find out which version of the keyboard we will
manufacture. We finally have to come to an end with
the touch keyboard discussion. In every case we will
also develop a "normal" CV/Gate keyboard as the
inquiries for such a keyboard are more than we
expected. We also think about a digital sequencer that
could record CV and gate signals as many customers
asked for such a device. Also a small version of the
Schaltwerk features (trigger sequencer with 16 steps/8
tracks with buttons and LEDs, but only one track is
visible at a time - this will keep the price low, the
desired track could be selected with additional
buttons or an encoder, several LED displays to show
the track/sequence and so on). As you see a lot of new
ideas came up that will keep us busy for the next
months or even years.
 
Hans Zimmer visited us for a long time and he was very
impressed of the Morphing Filter A-107 and mentioned
that the A-105 is a very important "bread and butter
module" too as it has a typical sound (of course he
knows all the instruments that use the SSM2044) that
differs from the other A-100 filter sounds.
 
These are the plans for the near future:
- publishing the poll for the touch keyboard on our
web site to decide the final version that will go into
production (the poll will be active for about 4 weeks
and we think about to combine it with a small prize
competition so that all participants could win one or
more A-100 modules (or even a touch keyboard - we
don't know).
- finishing the A-107 development (adding a reset
input, possible adding CV inputs without attenuators)
- finishing the A-105
- starting the A-100 DIY page on our web site
(contributions are welcome), it first the basics
(principles of power supply, operational amplifiers
with basic circuits, simple modifications of modules,
simple DIY modules e.g. power adapters for AS modules,
CV expander, changing the sensibility of CV and audio
inputs, increasing the output levels e.g. of VCAs to
obtain amplifications > 1, AC/DC coupling principles
and changing AC coupling into DC coupling and vice
versa  ....)
- finishing the touch keyboard (as soon as the poll is
closed)
- decision if A-154 will go into production (connected
with the touch keyboard features)
- carry on with "module of uncertainty" replica
- carry on with chaos generator researches
- developing a "normal" CV/Gate keyboard 
- modules under discussion: PLL module, digital
sequencer, trigger sequencer ("mini Schaltwerk"),
voltage controlled delay with several taps (separate
CV for the time shift of each tap) and many more ...."

hi list,
(this might be a world first....replying to
myself....:-)),
MY OPINION IS:doepfer should manufacture the touch
sensor keyboard with all the a154 features included
AND the a154 module to enable all the a155 users out
there to greatly enhance their a155 features!!!
also,about all the other future modules plans:PLEASE
DO MANUFACTURE ALL OF THEM!
do you agree?
bakis.

Count me in on wanting a A154.  It might even prompt me into buying 
another A155.

Mr.Doepfer this is the best news concerning the schaltwerk platform. 
Here is the moment for Doepfer to establish the Big Daddy Schaltwerk 
back into the sequencer heavy weight league.

A couple of suggestions.

1) you could use the same lay out of the bottom part of the 
schaltwerk and one channel strip.

2) by doing so you could implement all of the features that have been 
discussed in both of the schaltwerk forums.

3) you will then be able to still sell the big schaltwerk with 
upgraded functions.

4) you could implement the new parts and boards to work with all of 
the old schaltwerks , so that if people who have the old schaltwerk 
and want the new functions and improved board, they could buy the 
board and install it.

this would be a win win situation, let's hope it can be done. I think 
a poll on the Doepfer website would a great place to find out if it 
would be useful. you could also have a webpage where people's 
suggestions could be implemented into the poll before it's gets 
tallied.

All the best and let's hope it becomes a reality.

Best Regards,
RM

i'm already saving space in a new 6U case for a 154 and 107. 

can't see how having the 154's features built into the TKB 
creates a mutually exclusive relationship between itself and the 
154. seems like there's something for everybody in having the 
choice.  i mean, you wouldn't stop making 155s because the tkb 
can do that too, will you? 

also prefer the original concept of the touch-plate keyboard 
interface to that of a mechanical keyboard.  

good to hear there's maybe a traditional cv/gate keybaord in the 
works as well.

all good!  

psm

Well,

I am still working on the new schaltwerk features...  and I am getting
somewhere now.
I have gone through about 20,000 of the 32,000 lines of ASM that make up the
Schaltwerk OS and I've mapped out all the functions, and the internal and
external memory.

I have successfully compiled a modified version that does some cool stuff,
and other new features should be easy once I get everything worked out...
here is where I'm heading (from one of my previous posts to DH):

MIDI control (using track channel) of note ON/OFF, note value via MIDI
control change messages.

Main note value changed to a 'TRANSPOSE' feature, normally set at zero,
that can be set plus or minus. Each individual step, will have a
positive note setting from C0. When transposed, notes that are at the
maximum or minimum are truncated.

Note TIE function. This will tell the previous note that the
corresponding NOTE OFF should be sent AFTER this step has sent NOTE ON.
If the previous note is the same note number, then it will not send the
previous NOTE OFF at all. This allows for long notes, or legato notes
(for slides).

Save MIDI settings so they are recalled after power cycle.

Maybe some sort of option to internally feed MIDI out 2 to MIDI in 2
(excluding MIDI sync).

Track and pattern ROTATE function.

AUTO-ROTATE may be cool.

AUTOSAVE function, will save the current pattern automatically whenever
a pattern switches.

Track clipboard, can cut and paste individual tracks across patterns.

Set multiple note TIE automatically by pressing two step buttons at
once, sets TIE automatically for all steps in between, resetting the
note number to match the starting step.

Maybe have the selected track change with a step when it is pressed, so
changing
the note value/velocity is easier.

Change the order of the Run Modes.

I have more info about it at my Schaltwerk site:
http://www.socialentropy.com/schaltwerk

cheers

additional cv-inputs for the a107 would be fine really.
i would like the a154 to be manufactured as well
as the touch keyboard with added a154 functionality.
both will find it's users. i will go for the a154 for sure,
followed by another a155 later on.

the a105 is a sure shot for me. i love my korg mono/poly
and i can't wait to get an a105 soon.

another thing i would like to see is a new oscillator module
(the a111 seems to be unavailable again). great would be a thing
like the a111 but with shape control for all waveforms.

best wishes

self oscillate

hi kevin and list,
that's exactly my point!!!if the a154 will be
manufactured ,more people will want to buy the
a155+a154 combi,because it will be a much more
powerful sequencer!!!!!!
so,please DO manufacture dieter...

hi list,
if doepfer would design a new vco i would like it to
be similar to the EMS VCS3 vco's!!!!with no octave
selector,but fully variable freq. from top to bottom
and vernier pots for vco frequency to
much!!!!!also,with vc waveshaping on each waveform!!!!
this would ce great!

My checkbook has been open, waiting, since this suggestion first 
appeared here on the forum. If you build it, I'll buy it. 

I think 3-4 octaves instead of 4-5 octaves would position it as an 
affordable alternative to the Voyager, for those who already have an 
analog synth engine, CV and/or midi.

How ironic. This is what I *thought* I was buying in the Regelwerk, 
for precisely the reasons that Dieter describes. Unfortunately, 
Doepfer seriously hobbled the Regelwerk by only including about 90% of 
the Schaltwerk sequencer engine, leaving out some very key features.

If the small version of the Schaltwerk is produced, bravo, but where 
will that leave me? Stranded, that's where. I'm *very* fond of those 
faders :-)

Maybe the Regelwerk could also be upgraded to include the remainder of 
the Schaltwerk sequencer engine? Perhaps as the new high-end 
sequencer/controller?

Joe

Great news from Dieter!

They should produce the sequencer controller (A-154?), no matter if the 
functions will be implemented in the TKS.

I´m very happy about the plans to develop a "normal" CV/Gate keyboard. 
Would you prefer  a wooden case like "The Demon" from AnalogueSystems or 
a silver case (similar design to A-100 etc.) or like a smaller version 
of the LMKs without hammer mechanics? (I´d like to see wood IMHO.)  
List, what do you think should be implemented in the CV keyboard? I´d 
like to see a LFO (for vibrato), a pitch bend wheel and two assignable 
wheels.

Next point: DIY-corner. Wow! That´s what I´ve been waiting for... What 
can we expect? A modification corner or simple DIY-modules or even DIY 
kits with a blank PCB and lots of components?

What about buying several one-track mini-Schaltwerk modules and creating 
a custom Schaltwerk this way? RM, any opinions?

best,
Paul

I'm certainly excited about the A-154 and would also purchase 
a "normal" keyboard. I've played around on a Buchla Music Easel and 
it's definately not a keyboard. Can someone enlighten me about the 
advantages of a "touch" keyboard over a "normal" keyboard?

And please-no wooden case! It's the 3rd millenium. Why are we still 
packaging electronics in wood? Or worse; particle board with a 
picture of wood glued on it. It reminds me of the console stereo my 
parents had in the early 70's-the thing looked like a coffin! Yuk! 
Give me aluminium.

Cheers,

Richard.

Agreed on the "no wood" thing.  Wood really isn't my idea of the 
Doepfer image.  Besides, every modular seems to use wood.  

Give me something industrial.

hi Paul,

yes this could be a good idea, but it would be better to have a new 
main cpu board that could do both versions of the Schaltwerk, big 
small. this way you could rescue the Schaltwerk and regelwerk from 
the purgatory they are stifled in and really open them up to be the 
great musical sequencers they deserve to be. by having a main cpu 
designed to be multiplatform, you just rewrite the code for the 
specific application the platform needs. the plus side to of all this 
is Doepfer has all the interface boards designed and manufactured.

when I did the tkb poll, I mentioned it, only it was for an sh101 
sytle sequencer and not a trigger schaltwerk style that could be 
ganged together from the tkb. the reason being, the ability to do 
tied notes to get out of the 16th note repetition. that would be much 
more useful if it were locked to a master clock or any subdivision 
from it.

the proposed tkb sequencer can be a great launch pad for the A100, it 
just needs a lot of musical function input and thought. I know, it's 
hard to please everyone,but let's at least try to brainstorm and 
discuss its future, so it can a wonderful addition to the already 
wonderful A100.

regards,
RM

Okay, okay. I just like music furniture ;-) But on the other hand it 
would be okay, too as you can choose from wood (Asys, DotCom) or 
aluminium (Doepfer) then.
What about clear plexiglass? ;-)

Paul

As long as the industrial look comes in real aluminium it´s okay, but 
when it comes to plastic cases painted silver it´s just cheap (like on 
the novation K-station or Midiman Oxygene8 keyboard...).

agreed!  metal is the way to go.  aluminum would be fantastic.  can't imagi=

well, I don't really care about the wood on the TKB, as long as it's
sturdy/no plastic. 
But the A-154 is what i'm most excited about! I will definitely get one at
least as I have 2 A-155's, this is the best module to me in a awhile (note:
my Doepfer is mostly dedicated to control signals.) The A-155 is great but
does have it's sortcomings, hence all the things the 154 adds to it.
As for the TKB, of course it should have all those features, if feasible.
Having the A-154 would not decrease my desire for the TKB, which I would
also want but due to the cost will be a bit longer, nor having those
features on the TKB affect my need for the A-154. The A-154 is a must have
for me.

WE WANT BOTH. the more features on the TKB seq the better, but they are two
different animals.
best,
phil

Hi, list!

After a long absence from the list(due to flaming and spamming from other
lists) I just can't stop myself from writing a few lines about DIY.

I have always been keen on having a closer look at the stuff that make up
synths, but always felt intimidated by having to build it from scratch
including housing powersupply and all. I would love to have a kit for some
basic modules from Doepfer cause I would know that they will fit if I build
right. So I say, go, go go! Make a kit for a filter, basic ADSR and VCA.
Deduct the building cost and put it in the pricelist, but by all means do
make a good assembly manual(think of us electro-morons;).

The advantages of DIY is threefold.
-it makes stuff cheaper and attracts more customers with not so deep
pockets.
-it educates the users the basics which could help them do some
basic-repairs. Finding out skilled repairshops are difficult for many of us
and that adds to the bad rep of analogue "The break down, and they stay
broken cause nobody can fix them".
-a deeper knowledge about stuff adds attachement. Users will feel a closer
bond with Doepfer and their gear and that will in the end attracts more
users.

As Bakis always writes "PLEASE, do this..." =)

/Andreas

Great work ripe! I wish I had a shaltwerk so I could help you out with
beta-testing later. Perhaps I should pick one up now before you release the
potential(and jack up the price) ;) You don't by chance have anyone in your
trashcan RingMod? ;)

I also see you have not given up hopes for an upgrade boys(you know who you
are) - keep up the good "fight", but I find it hard to see that it really
will happen. I did try to sell of my regelwerk last summer, needless to say
offers were low. If you feel up to it feel free to guess what the
"top-bidder" offered. I was prepared to let it go real cheap and he didn't
even come close. What is the best hardwaresequencer on the market now by the
way?

I think, the solution might be a standardized digital bus for sequencer
orientated modules. Accessible from the front side of the modules. 10 pins
should be enough for a 5Bit-addressing (=32 Steps), clock, start/stop,
reset and ground and +5V. Doepfer could use the same ribbon cable that is
used for the supply voltages.

If such a bus exists, modules and keyboards simply could be combined.

Florian

couldn't agree more with you,phil...

Hi Andreas, 

good to see that your back. I hope all is well. yeah the schaltwerk 
is still boxed and sitting idle. I don't feel like dumping it for .20 
cents on the dollar. until the mini schaltwerk business came up. I 
was waiting for Ripe101 to finish his revision of the code before 
giving up on it. if his OS is what it should have been in the first 
place, I will hang on. if the new doepfer is better , i will 
entertain that as well. Right now my support is 150% behind Ripe101. 
I wish i knew more about coding so I could help out.Hey Ripe Take it 
to the Bridge. I will be there for him when he needs users to beta 
test his OS and give him a financial hand for effort.

A really cool sequencer that will be available soon is the Signal 
Arts Performance Sequencer you can access the url below.

http://home.eol.ca/~jeffry/satseq.htm

A matrix of an infinite number of sequences, now you can create 
whatever you wish, in any order, any pattern: up, down, side-ways. 
You will not run out of sequences! Multiple sequence trigger modes 
allows for a more intuitive, dynamic expression of oneself, without 
being fixed to preset patterns. Plus every modulation possibility for 
a controlled, instantaneous and expression-filled performance! There 
is no other step sequencer like this one.

Here are some of the features.

16 Banks 
of 8 Sequences 
of 8 Steps 
All times Multiple Instances 
Per-Step Pitch, Velocity, Controller Value 
Per-Step Duration and Note Duration 
Per-Step Slew Rate 
A Full-Featured Three Channel Polyphonic Midi to CV Converter 

I think this open approach might do it for me. goodluck and happy 
patching.

Regards,
RM

Hi Florian, I agree with you on the digital buss. I mentioned it in 
the tkb poll on how it would able to control several sequencer 
modules like the sh101 style sequencer module for instance. However, 
I would rather see a trunk line module to bring buss outlets from the 
TKB to a front panel like a reverse mult. 1 or 2 inputs on the front 
panel and 2 to 4 connectors per input on the back for the sequencer 
modules. this would create a much tidier front panel area than having 
ribbon cables all over. it might suffocate an already tight 
environment. 

regards,
RM

Hey guys, thanks for the support (I wish I could get some support 
from Chris at Doepfer!)

I really love the 'idea' of the schaltwerk, which is why I am 
spending the time to rewrite the OS...  it's a fun challenge :)

If you haven't already, you should also check out the futureretro 
mobius (www.future-retro.com).  It is only one track, but it has 
most of the features the schaltwerk is missing.

From what I have seen in the Schaltwerk code, it is not really a 
matter of processor power to add the features we have been 
requesting... since most of them are not timing critical, the only 
thing that may affect timing is checking each step for a note tie. 
There is some room left to add additional code, so hopefully I can 
squeeze everything in without having to remove any features

I will post more when I have information.

cheers

Just got home an AS95 vco with convertercables to will upp a space in my
system. But I am a bit unsure how to use the convert cable for the power...
anybody have any instructions and experiences to share about it?

hello andreas,

if you are not sure how to connect the rs95, go to 
http://www.analoguesolutions.com and download
the concussor.pdf. it can be found in the download section.
there you will find a description of the integrator and
doepfer power connectors and their differences.

if you are still unsure, you can email bob williams at
analogue systems for advice. i don't want to point you
into a wrong direction, because i don't have the modules in
front of me right now and i can't remember exactly how
i connected them.

hope this helps

best wishes
