Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The A-140 is a foundational Doepfer module, and for good reason. It's a workhorse ADSR, simple to use, and delivers that classic Eurorack character. Perfect for beginners getting into modular synthesis or seasoned veterans needing a reliable, compact envelope generator.
Product Description
Doepfer A-140, ADSR Envelope Generator
- The module A-140 is a envelope generator and since it delivers control voltages
- belongs to the modulation-modules. As soon as the ADSR is triggered at gate-input
- it generates an adjustable control signal called the envelope. This envelope is present on its outputs in normal and inverted S-form and can be used e.g. for modulation of VCO
- VCF and VCA modules as well as for transient and decay oscillations of other modules. The S-form of the envelope is unambiguously defined by four parameters
- attack
- decay
- sustain and release. The ADSR is triggered with a gate-signal at gate-input and provides the possibility of a retrigger-Function
- i.e. the envelope will be restarted every time a trigger signal is present at the retrigger-socket while the gate is active.
In connection with the comparator-module A-167 a free run "ADSR-LFO" can be realised.
- Envelope Generator
- Parameters can be set independently
- 3-Step switch for selecting the time range
- Eurorack format
- Width: 8 HP
- Depth: 50 mm
- Power requirements: +20 mA (+ 12V) / -20 mA (-12V)
- • Classic Doepfer build quality: robust, reliable, and durable.
- • Versatile ADSR shaping for a wide range of modulation tasks.
- • Retrigger functionality allows for complex, evolving sounds.
- • Compact 4HP footprint maximizes space in modular systems.
- • Limited parameter control compared to modern envelope modules.
- • Older design lacks the finesse of later Doepfer revisions.
- • The sustain level can be a bit tricky to dial in precisely.
