Doepfer A-184-2 Sine Converter / VC Crossfader
- Order number: 160233
- Depth: 35
The A-184-2 contains two independent circuits. On one hand there's a curve converter which forms a triangle into a nealy perfect sine; pretty handy as an oscillator expancer for VCOs without a sine or with an inperfect one. On the other hand the module features a voltage controlled crossfader which, using high quality SSM-VCAs, is intended for audio.
The upper part of the module is, like stated before, is a very precise curve converter for generating an utterly clean sine wave from a triangle wave.
The bottom part is a circuit for crossfading between two input signals to one output. This can happen manually with the CF control as well as voltage controlled via the scaleable CV input.
Both inputs are equipped with LEDs displaying signal levels. The A input is normalized to the sine converters' output.

A-184-2 @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.
