doepfer a-129-3 vocoder slew-limiter (vocoder subsytem) price : $145.00

the five-way vc slew limiter / offset generator / attenuators (a-129 /3) and slew controllers (a-129/4) are particularly designed for this purpose. module a-129 /3 includes 5-way attenuators, 5-way offset generators, and a slew limiter (which works on all the voltages at the five cv inputs simultaneously). using the a-129 /3 just on its own, two functions are available:

attenuator: whatever signal is patched into the cv input can be attenuated by your chosen amount before being sent to the cv output. the attenuation is set with a control knob.
offset generator: whatever signal is patched into the cv input will have an offset voltage added to it before being sent to the output. the offset is variable with a control knob.



the slew limiter function is only available if the slew control input of the module a-129/3 is controlled by the slew limiter controller a-129-4

for the maximum extension of the vocoder three modules a-129/3 are required as the a-129/3 contains only 5 units but the complete vocoder has 15 frequency bands. usually, the a-129/3 is patched between the cv outputs of the analysis section a-129-1 and the cv inputs of the synthesis section a-129-2. you can also use module a-129-3, particularly in combination with a-129-4, for other purposes. for example, using the a-129-2 synthesis section only, you can make a filterbank.

module a-129-3 can also be used out of a vocoder to attenuate any signal in the a-100 and to add a fixed offset voltage (e.g. to expand the features of the dual low cost vca a-132, the quantizer a-156 or the sampler a-112).



this module has a maximum current draw of 40ma. it requires 16 te/hp worth of space to fit in a eurorack frame.
