Doepfer A-111-3 V2 Micro Precision VCO/LFO

• triangle core
• fully analog design
• min. 15 octaves pitch range in each mode (VCO/LFO):
  • VCO mode: typ. 0.5 Hz - 20 kHz  (with appropriate external CV)
  • LFO mode: typ. 0.001 Hz - 40 Hz (with appropriate external CV)
• about 24 octaves total in both modes (typ. 0.001 Hz - 20kHz)
• perfect 1V/octave tracking over min. 10 octaves (typ. 16Hz - 16kHz in VCO mode)
• exponential frequency section:
  • Tune control
    • selectable tune control range by means of an internal jumper: about  0.5 / 2 / 10 octaves
    • manual VCO tune range (with jumper pos. 1, without external CV): about 16 Hz- 20kHz
    • manual VCO tune range (with jumper pos. 2, without external CV): about 16 Hz- 70Hz
    • manual VCO tune range (without jumper, without external CV): about 16 Hz- 22Hz
    • the corresponding frequencies in LFO mode are about 1/500 lower, the max. frequency in LFO mode is about 40Hz
  • 1V/octave CV input "1V"
  • exponential frequency modulation XM input with attenuator
  • the XM input socket is normalled to a small positive voltage so that the XM control works as fine tune control when exponential FM is not in use. As a logarithmic potentiometer for finer resolution in the lower range is used, also the fine control is exponential

  • access to internal bus CV (via jumper, optional)
• linear frequency section:
  • linear frequency modulation input LM (without attenuator), DC coupled
• Pulsewidth section for rectangle output:
  • Manual pulsewidth control PW, adjusts pulsewidth from 0% (output = fixed at "low" state) up to 100% (output fixed at "high" state)
  • Pulsewidth modulation input PM (without attenuator), about 5Vpp required for full PW range
• Sync input SY (selectable hard or soft sync via internal jumper)
• Waveform outputs:
  • Sawtooth, rising edge, output level ~ 10Vpp (voltage range 0 ... +10V)
  • Rectangle (controlled from pulsewidth section), output level ~ 10Vpp (voltage range 0 ... +10V)
  • Triangle, output level ~ 10Vpp (voltage range -5V ... +5V, DC offset can be adjusted also also to 0 ... +10V)
• Nearly "perfect" waveforms (no glitches)
• only 4HP panel
• Modification final version:
• additional range switch so that the module can be used as VCO or LFO (in LFO mode all frequencies about 1/500 compared to VCO mode)
• LED (for display in LFO mode)
• smaller distance between the knobs and smaller knobs (because of the required space for the additional range switch)

This is a preliminary information about the planned module. The features are still subject to change and all specifications are still preliminary without any obligation !
