Doepfer A-121-2 (12dB Multimode Filter)
- Order number: 160082
- Depth: 50
The concept of a multimode filter with individual outputs, voltage controllable resonance and a similar name is what this module has in common with the old A-121. But the core is an different one, though, as instead the old CEM3320 circuit the filter known from the desktop synthesizer Dark Energy 2 is used.
- frequency range: 10Hz to more than 20kHz
- level control at the audio input
- two cutoff CV inputs: 1x 1V/octave (FCV1), 1x with attenautor (FCV2)
- resonance (Q) is voltage controllable; 1x CV input with attenuator
- oscillates at high Q settings
- individual outputs for four filter types: low pass, high pass, band pass, notch

A-121-2 @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.
