Doepfer A-135-4C Quad Envelope Follower
- Order number: 170090
- Depth: 41
The A-135-4C is composed of four envelope followers with adjustable attack and release. The circuit was designed to be used as an addition for the A-135-4A/B Performance Mixer, adding ducking, compressor and expander functions to the mixing system. However, thanks to a full set of inputs and outputs, it is also possible to employ the A-135-4C for other tasks.
The A-135-4C offers four identical envelope followers. Each modulator comes equipped with an audio input, attack and release potentiometers as well as a CV output. LEDs visualize control voltages generated by the module. The A-135-4C can be connected to the A-135-4A/B Performance Mixer via a Ribbon cable. Users are able to determine whether audio material gets tapped off directly after the input connectors, behind the gain stages or after the level control of the A-135-4A. By plugging in patch cables into the envelope follower’s inputs, the internal routing can be suspended.

A-135-4 VC Performance Mixer Modules Overview
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.
