The A-130 is a VCA with linear characteristic, thus primarily intended for controlling the level of CVs. It offers two signal inputs and a output with adjustable volume. amplification is set with a Gain control and two modulation inputs.
Not only control voltages can be used to "open" the VCA and to let the inputs pass through, there is also a manual gain control. This is pretty handy when you want to modulate the VCA with a bi-polar voltage - just turn up the gain haf-way - this way you can use the CV's negative signal parts for closing the VCA. As the module has two signal inputs often you don't need a mixer before the VCA.
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.
