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.
