Niiice! The classic Joystick Controller enhanced with a third Axis (Z) - the Rotation of the Stick. That way you get 10 CVs generated with one movement: X/Y/Z, X/Y/Z inverted, Q1-4. The latter are derived from the distance and rotation of the Axis relative to the corners/quadrants.
The A-174-4 Joy Stick II generates eight control voltages when the joystick is moved along the X/Y axes. Turning the joystick control knob generates the Z-axis control voltage and pressing the joystick control knob generates a gate signal.
In addition to the usual X/Y coordinates of a joystick, the A-174-4 provides control voltage outputs for the four quadrants and the Z-axis, and inverted outputs for the X, Y, and Z-axes. The voltage range that can be controlled by the joystick is -5 to 5 volts (without offset) and can be shifted upwards by 5 volts by the offset.
Due to the special design we would like to draw your attention to the information provided by the manufacturer:A-174-4
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.
