Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The A-149-1 is a solid, no-frills random voltage generator. It's perfect for adding unpredictable movement to filters, oscillators, or envelopes – a great entry point for anyone exploring modular randomness, or a useful utility for more experienced users needing a reliable, compact random source.
Product Description
- Doepfer A-149-1
- Eurorack Module
- Generates 4 different random control voltages
- 2 outputs
- Trim potentiometers for adjusting the voltage levels
- Eurorack format
- Width: 12 HP
- Depth: 60 mm
- Power requirement: +40 mA (+ 12V) / -10 mA (-12V)
- Suitable expander module: Art.#199100# (not included)
PROS
- • Four independent random voltage sources provide diverse modulation options
- • Trim pots offer precise voltage level adjustment for nuanced control
- • Compact 12HP footprint maximizes space in dense modular systems
- • Robust Doepfer build quality ensures long-term reliability and stability
CONS
- • Limited output flexibility compared to more advanced random generators
- • Basic random algorithm may lack complexity for some users
- • Power draw, while not excessive, needs consideration in power-constrained systems

Frequently Asked Questions
It's a basic pseudo-random algorithm; it's suitable for subtle or textural changes, but won't offer the truly unpredictable nature of some higher-end, dedicated random sources.
While you *can* create interesting patterns, the A-149-1's algorithm is more suited for gentle, evolving randomness than completely chaotic sequences. You’ll need to chain it with other modules for more extreme results.
60mm is a fairly standard depth for Doepfer modules, but some larger Eurorack cases may have depth restrictions. Double-check your case's specifications before purchasing.
