This manual covers the Doepfer A-129/3 (Vocoder Slew-Limiter) and A-129/4 (Slew Limiter Controller), detailing their controls, functions, and usage examples…
The document describes the Doepfer A-129/x series of modules as a modular vocoder system. The A-129/3 module adds a Slew Limiter to the vocoder, featuring five-way Attenuators and Offset Generators. It also includes a Slew Limiter function that requires the companion A-129/4 module for full operation.
The manual details the specific functions of both modules: the A-129/3 provides signal attenuation and offset generation across five CV inputs, while the A-129/4 acts as a controller offering manual and CV control over slew rates. It explains three distinct modes—'Follow', 'Slew', and 'Freeze'—and provides user examples for integrating these modules into a standard vocoder layout or using them as a filter bank.
The offset control range goes from 0 V to +5 V.
You need three A-129/3 modules.
The signal at the output is immediately frozen.
