Product Description

Doepfer A-188-1D, Brigade Device Module

BBDs are used to delay audio signals before digital delays are able to deactivate the BBD-generated effects. BBDs have some very unique advantages (or disadvantages - depending on the point of view) over their digital counterparts, a result of some of the special properties inherent in BBDs. BBD circuits can be treated as a chain of Sample & Hold units (S H), which pass on their voltages to the next S&H in the chain at each clock pulse.

• The sound produced by the A-188-1 module is very special indeed. Typical applications include: Flanger
• Chorus
• Analog Delay or Karplus / Strong Synthesis. As the A-188-1 has a lot of unique features (voltage controlled clock rate / delay time with extreme range
• polarity switches for CV inputs
• feedback and BBD Out/Mix
• clock and CV high speed VCO output
• BBD clock input
• feedback insert
• feedback to self-oscillation)
• it's not at all unfeasible to discover many unusual applications
• e.g.
• delay controlled by ADSR
• envelope
• random or sequencer with positive or negative effect.

• For the A-100 modular system
• High-speed VCO (HSVCO) section
• BBD / Audio section
• Power requirement: +80 mA (+12V) / -50 mA (-12V)
• Width: 14 TE / 70.8 mm
• Depth: 60 mm (measured from the back of the front panel)
