Doepfer A-116 Waveform Processor
- Order number: 120091
- Depth: 40
Waveforms of the audio signal can be modified and distorted dynamicly with the A-116. You can attenuate the signal, clip and amplify it asymetrically in two parallel stages. Clipping and symetry can be also changed with a control voltage for a living sound.
The signal first of all goes through an input amplifier with an adsjutable amplification factor of 0 to 2 i.e. you can attenuate or amplify the signal.
After the input amplifier, the signal goes through two parallel processors: a clipping circuit, and an asymmetrical amplifier.
Finally the processed signals are added together and sent to the output.
The parameters Clipping Level and Symmetry are not just manually controllable, but can also be modulated by control voltages, to produce complex, constantly changing waveforms.

A-116 @Doepfer
WIth a long trajectory building synths, MIDI keyboards and designing bespoke devices for music pioneers Kraftwerk, Dieter Doepfer decided to design his own modular synthesizer in 1995 based on existing electrical and mechanical specifications of lab equipment he used during his years at university. The official presentation of the system at 1996 Frankfurt Musikmesse caught everyone by surprise and created lots of interest. After Doepfer published the specifications on his website, many instrument designers and engineers saw the potential of the new Eurorack format. Doepfer continues expanding their catalog of over 200 modules (and counting), operating from their modest offices in the outskirts of Munich.
