great news about the improvement of the audio Quality of the A130/131 VCA modules! well done Dieter!

also, can't wait for the A-157 Trigger Sequencer (mini-Schaltwerk) modules!


regarding the Volt/Oct input of the A171-2 (Serge) Slope module, as far as i know, the Dual Transient Generator (or Dual Universal Slope Generator, its the same design) track well for about 3 octaves.
but, of course, they are not temperature compensated.

so, as the A171-2 is a serge design, the slope module should also track ok for about 3 octaves.
if this is the case, maybe you should leave the Volt/Oct input named as such...

thanks,
Bakis.

Subject: 1 Some A-100 News


 
Dear members,

here are some A-100 news:

The small version of the multiple A-180 is available in April 2013 (2 HP
only, name: A-180-2)

The A-130 (linear VCA) is now delivered with a precision VCA circuit
(SSM2164) instead of the CA3080. The new A-130 is DC-coupled.

The A-131 (exponential VCA) is now delivered also with an improved VCA
circuit (high end THAT VCA circuit instead of the CA3080). The new A-131 is
DC-coupled.

The A-135 will be available from about May 2013 in a revised version with DC
coupling of the signals and single outputs, i.e. it can be used also as 4
separate linear VCAs with manual gain, CV in with attenuator and signal in
with attenuator. Because of the DC coupling it can be used also for
modulation signal processing (i.e. voltage controlled mixing of control
signals).

The module A-171-2 (licensed copy of the Serge/CGS VCS) will be available
about end of April or early in May 2013.

We will show the prototype of the new version of the A-190-5 Polyphonic
USB/Midi-to-CV/Gate Interface (with LCD) and the A-190-8 USB/Midi-to-Sync
Interface at the Musikmesse in Frankfurt. These modules will be available
about summer 2013. We will hopefully also show the "large" version of the
trigger sequencer A-157/miniature Schaltwerk (8 rows with 16 steps each).
The 8x16 button/LED board is ready but I cannot guarantee that the
controller board will be also ready for the Musikmesse.

That's it for now ....

Best wishes
Dieter Doepfer
