Doepfer A-185-2 Precision Adder / Bus Access
- Order number: 120172
- Depth: 50
The A-185-2 allows you to send up to four control voltages simultaneously (e.g. sequencer and keyboard for transposing a pattern) to one or more VCOs. There are three buffered outputs and an inverted one.
The A-185-2 is a precision adder (mixer) and buffer for control voltages. Precision means that the amplification of the inputs without attenuators is exactly 1.00. When playing VCOs this means a correct tracking of 1V/oct.
You can also use the A-185-2 as a octave switch because the rocker switches produce a 1V offset voltage when nothing is plugged.

A-185-2 @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.
