Doepfer A-152 Voltage addressed S&H / Switch
- Order number: 120144
- Depth: 81
The module A-152 is a complex switch / multiplexer unit with additional features:
- eight-fold bidirectional electronic switch (in- and outputs can be swapped) with the possibility to address the stages with a CV or to step from one stage to the next with a clock signal. All signals of the a-100 can be switched, even audio.
- eight-fold track-and-hold
The module reacts to incoming impulses at the clock input and progresses from step to step with each impulse. Additionally the steps can be addressed manualla and by control voltage. Simultaneously the sub-units generate three different functions:
- Electronic octal switch: the input and output sockets are bi-directional i.e. one common input is switched to the eight outputs or eight inputs are switched to one common output. All signals of the A-100 can be used, even audio.
- Eight-fold track & hold. The voltage at the "common T&H input" is switched to and emitted at the output of the active step.
- digital outputs: per step there is a gate socket which goes "high" when the step is active. All others outputs remein "low" and do not produce a gate.

A-152 @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.
