Frequently Asked Questions

The main difference is the black front panel, giving it a more retro look. Functionally, it’s the same circuit as the original A-148.
While it can generate random voltages, it's primarily for creating predictable 'staircase' patterns. You'll need to combine it with other modules for truly random melodic output.
Anything from slow, drone-like progressions (sub-cycle per second) to faster, more complex rhythms (several cycles per second) will work well, depending on the desired effect.
