Doepfer A-137-1 Wave Multiplier I

Wave multiplier

A-137-1 is a voltage controlled waveform multiplier. The basic idea of a wave multiplier is to multiply the waveform of an incoming audio signal (e.g. triangle/sinus/sawtooth of a VCO) within one period. This creates additional harmonics in the audio signal. The period duration and thus also the pitch of the signal remain unchanged - in contrast to frequency multiplication such as with the PLL module A-196.

The A-137-1 works as an "inverse low-pass filter", i.e. it adds additional harmonics to a signal poor in overtones, whereas a low-pass filter (e.g. A-120) filters out overtones from a signal rich in overtones. Therefore, the A-137 gives the best results in combination with comparatively low harmonic waveforms (e.g. triangle, sine) as input signal. For overtone-rich input signals (e.g. sawtooth) the A-137 can also be used, but the effect is not as spectacular as with a triangle signal. With square-wave signals, the effect of the A-137 is hardly noticeable.

The Multiples parameter (adjustable manually and by control voltage) defines the number of waveform multiplications within a period. The two parameters Folding Level and Symmetry (both adjustable manually and by control voltage) set the upper and lower level at which the convolution of the signal takes place. The function of these two parameters is shown graphically in the diagram below. The Harmonics parameter (adjustable manually and by control voltage) adds further harmonics (i.e. in addition to the harmonics created by waveform multiplication) by sharpening the waveform edges (amplification and limiting) and adding overshoot peaks (attenuated waves at the edges).

  • Input Level to adjust different input levels for the optimal effect of the module
  • Multiples: Number of curve multiplications, manual setting
  • Harmonics: Adding additional harmonics by an effect similar to the resonance of filters, manual adjustment
  • Folding Level: Value of the upper and lower folding level, for explanation see sketch below, manual setting
  • Symmetry: Symmetry of upper and lower convolution level, see sketch below for explanation, manual adjustment
  • Width: 14 TE / HP
  • Depth: 65 mm
  • Current consumption: +40 mA (+12 V) / -20 mA (-12 V)

Inputs/outputs:

  • Audio In - also suitable for control voltages
  • Multiples CV In: Control voltage input for the number of curve multiplications, with attenuator
  • Harmonics CV In: Control voltage input for the Harmonics parameter, with attenuator
  • Folding Level CV In: Control voltage input for the convolution level, with attenuator
  • Symmetry CV In: Control voltage input for convolutional symmetry, with attenuator
  • Audio Out: Output for the processed audio or control signal.

Doepfer A-136

Distortion / Waveshaper

The A-136 is a distortion and wavehaping module with extensive adjustment parameters. The input signal (audio- or control voltage), is first divided inside the module into 3 separate signal paths, which are mixed together at the output with adjustable gain (positive / negative):

By way of all the various possible settings of the 5 parameters, very complex waveform distortions and modifications (waveshaping) are possible. The changes range from simple hard- or soft-clipping, to completely changed waveforms, in which the original input signal can no longer be recognised.

  • Positive component of the signal with adjustable clipping threshold (also externally); and gain / roll-off (+/-)
  • Negative component of the signal with adjustable clipping threshold (also externally); and gain / roll-off (+/-)
  • Original signal with adjustable gain / roll-off (+/-)
  • Inputs: Audio / CV In, ext. Clipping Level (+), ext. Clipping Level (-)
  • Outputs: Audio / CV Out
  • Application examples: Audio distortion (can get especially interesting in conjunction with filters), waveform manipulation for audio- and control signals (LFO, ADSR, random, etc.).
  • Width: 8 HP
  • Depth: 45 mm
  • Power requirement: +30 mA (+12V) / -10mA (-12V)

Doepfer A-116

Waveform Processor

The A-116 module provides voltage-controlled, dynamic waveform modification of audio signals. It can produce new waveforms from the standard, basic forms; with such changes also having the option of being modulated.

The signal first of all goes through an input amplifier with a gain range from 0 up to 2, i.e. the signal can be both attenuated and amplified up to a factor of 2. After the input amplifier, the signal goes through two parallel processors.

Signal processing paths: clipping and an asymmetrical amplifier. Subsequently, the modified signals are then added and fed to the output. The parameters of the clipping level and symmetry can be set manually as well as modulated by control voltages, which allows for very complex and dynamic waveform changes.

  • Width: 8 HP / 40.3 mm
  • Depth: 40 mm (measured from the rear side of the front panel)
  • Power requirement: +20 mA (+ 12V) / -20 mA (-12V)
