Doepfer A-126-2exp Expander
- Order number: 210614
The expansion module for the Doepfer A-126-2 Frequency Shifter adds the access to internal sub-units of the module: Dome filter outputs 1 and 2, ring modulator 1 and 2, up shift out, down shift out, envelope out.
The separate up and down outputs can be used e.g. for stereo effects, especially with low frequency shifting frequencies. The ring modulator and up/down outputs can also be used for feedback applications where these signals are added to the audio input by means of a mixer at the A-126-2 input. Even very special self-oscillation functions are possible when these outputs are used for feedback (without an external input signal). That way the A-126-2 becomes an oscillator with very strange waveforms. Great for experimentation!

A-126-2exp @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.
