Doepfer A-132-3 dual lin/exp VCA
- Order number: 120109
- Depth: 41
Two identical VCAs whose characteristic can be selected between linear or exponential each, ie. they can process as well audio as CV signals. The VCAs don't have attenuators at the signal inputs but they can handle also very loud signals of 16Vpp amplitude (-8V to +8V) without distorting.
Each VCA section's characteristic and thus the response to CVs can be set either linear or exponential. Linear is better for processing the amplitude of control voltages while exponential is better for audio signals as the human ear also has a exponential curve.
The initial level can be set manually with the gain potentiometer i.e you can open the VCA manually. The CV input has an attenautor for adjusting the modulation intensity.

A-132-3 @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.
