Analogue systems

hello nectarios,

i have 4x a119 and i don't have any problems with the
envelope follower or the generated trigger. i also
have no problems with noise intruding the signal path.

but i have to admit, that the last purchased a119 generates
envelopes which are a bit different when compared with
my older ones. seems that the newer one responds a bit faster
and the result is that the envelope attack- and release times
are shorter, but it is just a tiny difference.
maybe the integrated slew limiter rolls off at a
higher frequency now. i don't know if doepfer changed something
in the design. after all it was no problem for me.
another thing, it is a good idea to use a compressor in
front of the a119 input, i often do so.

maybe your a119 is broken? you should contact doepfer
directly, they will help you for sure.

regarding the analogue systems envelope follower (does
analogue solution have one too?), it works really well,
especially because it features variable slew time.
but you need an additional input module to get the
a119 functionality.

best wishes

ingo
