Product information "Doepfer A-188-1A BBD (512 Stages)"
The A-188-1 series bases on a so-called bucket brigade device (BBD) that has been used in the pseudo-digital delays of the 1980s. The version with 512 stages provides a delay time of 1.02 - 512 ms.
The module is not an entire delay but only its core with all its (sometimes desired) anomalies like eg. cross talk of the internal clock frequency and it´s very independent spacey and raw sound.
There are modulation possibilities with invertible polaritiy, a dry/wet control, feedback up to self-oscillation and a feedback loop with insert.

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.
