Doepfer A-170 Dual Slew Limiter
- Order number: 120156
- Depth: 40
Two separate slew limiters for generating portamento effects. Abrupt changes of a signal can be "smoothed" this way. The upper slew limiter has one common control while the lower has separate controls for setting the rising and falling slew time.
The upper slew limiter has a common knob for setting the rise and fall time (approx. 0 -10 seconds)
The bottom slew limiter unit has individual knobs for setting rise and fall time and for that reason it can be used as an AR-type envelope generator. Besides that you can use a switch to select from three time ranges.
Both units are equipped with LEDs for for visualizing the state of rising and falling voltages.

A-170 @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.
