Doepfer A-130 VCA (linear)
- Order number: 120105
- Depth: 45
The Doepfer A-130: An affordable, compact, bread and butter linear VCA for audio and CV control.
The Doepfer A-130 VCA is a linear voltage-controlled amplifier. Like many other Doepfer products, this module is simple yet functional, offering you a versatile tool for modulating both audio and control voltage signals.
The A-130 gives you dual audio inputs, each equipped with its own attenuator for simple mixing duties. Its linear response curve means that it is very suited for treating CVs as it avoids skewing. But it can also be used as an Audio VCA – especially together with log or exp envelopes.
This is your simple yet effective go-to linear VCA with the added benefit of an integrated mixer. A great price choice you will not regret.
Key Features:
- Linear VCA for precise control over CV and Audio signals.
- Dual audio inputs with individual attenuators
- Manual gain/offset control
- Capable of processing both positive and negative voltages, offering enhanced sonic versatility
- CV input with an attenuator
- Output level control

A-130 @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.
