Doepfer A-178 Theremin Voltage Source
- Order number: 120164
- Depth: 40
Theremin controller module for generating a variable control voltage by approaching/removing hand to/from an antenna. A gate signal can be generated, too if the voltage exceeds a certain threshold set by the according control.
For emulating a Theremin you need two A-178s: one for the pitch and one for the volume.

A-178 @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.
