The A-117 is a surprisingly capable little module. Its digital noise is unlike anything else in the Doepfer range, and the 808 source is a decent homage to those iconic drum machines. It's a great starting point for modular experimentation or a useful addition for those wanting unique textures.
Product Description
Doepfer A-117, Digital Noise / 808 Sound Source
- Module A-117 (DNG) is a combination module
- including a digital noise generator and an 808 source. The digital noise generator uses random sequences of square waves
- (18-band
- with multiple slewed feed-back loops)
- whose rate can go from random clicks to pure noise. The colour of the noise is very different from the analog noise produced by the A-118. In addition to a manual setting
- the rate can be control-led by an external clock - eg. VCO
- LFO or MIDI clock).
The 808 Source aims to re-create the sort of multi-oscillator array that was used in Roland’s TR-808 and 606 drum machines as the basis of the sound of the hi-hat, cymbals and cowbell. The cowbell mix uses two oscillators, and the cymbals mix six., Width: 8HP / 40.3 mm, Depth: 40 mm (measured from the rear of the front plate), Power requirements: 20 mA (12V) / -10 mA (-12V)
- • Unique digital noise character distinct from analog alternatives
- • 808 source recreates classic drum machine textures convincingly
- • Compact 8HP footprint ideal for space-constrained modular systems
- • External clock input offers versatile rhythmic possibilities
- • Limited noise shaping compared to more complex noise generators
- • 808 source's sounds can be somewhat predictable without extensive modulation
- • Relatively basic feature set for a modern noise module
