The Doepfer A-190-2 is an affordable MIDI to CV gate interface module for the Eurorack A-100 system. It’s a great module for the starter modular system as it provides midi control for any A-100 module that has CV gate and trigger inputs.
The Doepfer A-190-2 can be used in all cases where the additional features of the A-190-1 are not required such as clock output and start/stop output. The perfect choice for any modular synth aficionado.
The main features of the Doepfer A-190-2 include:
Midi CV/Gate interface
Gate output 0/+5V
CV1: this voltage is derived from incoming Midi note messages (0...+5V / 5 octaves), the glide control affects this CV output
CV2: this voltage is derived from incoming Midi pitch bend messages (-2.5 ... +2.5V)
CV3: this voltage is derived from the multiplication of incoming Midi volume messages and the velocity data of the note messages (0...+5V)
CV4: this voltage is derived from a freely adjustable Midi control change message (0...+5V)
Midi channel, reference note for 0V CV1 and the midi control change number for CV4 are adjusted by means of the learn button.
Glide control: portamento/slew limiter function for CV1
Doepfer A-190-2 MIDI/CV-InterfaceCleverly designed and compact interface is ideal for single voice synth duties. It includes a slew generator and outputs for gate, note, velocity and modulation information - all in 6HP.
