Re: A-185

2005-09-27 by selfoscillate

hello bryan,

from my experience you need the a185 only when sending a
pitch cv to multiple origins, lets say you send a quantized
voltage to three vco's and a filter. as long as you use a
buffered multiple like the a185 you will be fine, but when
using an unbuffered multiple like a180 the cv voltage will
drop at a certain point and maybe your vco's will be out
of tune then.
the a185 feeds the system buss of the a100, so if you want
to use the system buss, you need the a185.

to shortly answer your question, you do not necessarily need
an a185, but sometimes it makes life a lot easier
if you have one.

hope this helps

best wishes

ingo

A-185

As my modular grows will I need the a185?

Thanks for any advice.

You wouldn't use it for an LFO because the CV input on the VCOs would be
unattenuated.  For that purpose you'd use multiples.  The purpose of the 185
is to send gates to multiple EGs or a common unattenuated CV to a maximum,
probably, of 2 VCOs, e.g. from a sequencer or keyboard.  The affected
modules need to be on the same row, or you'll need a little cable that
connects the buses for two rows.

I was looking around on the Doepfer site and I noticed the a185 Bus Access

hello zoran,

the only module which uses the buss too is the a190,
but this module writes the buss instead of reading it.

basically all modules can use the system buss, but you
need a different ribbon cable and you have to solder
a connection between the cv/gate buss and the jack sockets
in question.

i own an a143/2 which responds to the gate buss,
but it is not the standard version, i ordered it
with this modification.

best wishes

Hello,

this is a question I always wanted to ask about bus module functionality: 
beside A-110, A-111, and A-140, are there any other modules that can use it 
(get the signal from the bus)?

Regards,

Zoran

No. But on the A-100 DIY page you find a description how to obtain CV or
Gate from the bus for other modules.
