The A-119 is a workhorse module for integrating external sounds into your modular system. It’s fantastic for triggering events based on external audio, or shaping those sounds with its envelope follower. Ideal for experimental musicians and sound designers who want a flexible and affordable interface.
Product Description
Doepfer A-119, External Input / Envelope Follower
Module A-119 is used to integrate external audio signals into the system A-100, and includes the components pre-amplifiers, envelope follower and a comparator. The preamplifier has two inputs: the unbalanced input with a gain factor of 0 ... 20 is mainly used for line-level signals, while the balanced input has a gain factor of 0 ... 500 for the integration of low-level signals (microphone , Electric guitar).
The envelope follower generates an envelope at its output, corresponding to the signal profile of the external audio signal. The comparator generates a gate signal corresponding to the level of an adjustable trigger threshold. Three LEDs are used to control the amplification (overdrive), the envelope and the gate signal., Width: 8HP / 40.3 mm, Depth: 45 mm (measured from the rear of the front plate), Power requirements: 30 mA (12 V) / -20 mA (-12V)
- • Excellent pre-amp gain range for both line and mic signals
- • Envelope follower accurately tracks complex audio dynamics
- • Balanced input handles low-level signals with impressive clarity
- • Compact HP width maximizes space in dense modular setups
- • Limited routing options compared to more advanced envelope processors
- • Gain staging can be tricky, requiring careful adjustment
- • The comparator’s trigger threshold isn’t as precise as dedicated gates
