Doepfer Musikelektronik GmbH User manual V1.0 REGELWERK V1.2 ✱ ✲ ✳ ✴
All the connectors described in this section are
to be found at the rear of the
REGELWERK .
6.1 Power supply
6.1.1 Version with external
transformer
•
This version of REGELWERK doesn‘t have an
internal power supply, but is provided with an
external power transformer. The power
supply input socket is labelled '9V DC‘ and is
positioned to the right of the four MIDI
sockets and SYNC socket.
•
REGELWERK is switched on by inserting the
9V plug in this socket, and connecting the
mains transformer's plug to the mains supply.
There is no on/off switch.
•
Included in the REGELWERK package for
European buyers is a 230V approved
transformer for connecting to the mains.
•
For other countries' voltages or mains
sockets, you'll need to buy the appropriate
mains transformer and plug for your country.
•
For safety reasons, only use a transformer
and/or plug which has an accredited safety
mark in your country. The transformer output
voltage needs to be about 9V (acceptable
tolerance from 7 to 12V) and capable of
delivering at least 500 mA. Polarity needs to
be as follows:- the outer ring is earth /
ground, the inner +7...12V. If the polarity is
reversed, the
REGELWERK won't work, but a
protection diode should prevent it from being
damaged.
6.1.2 Version with internal 230V
mains supply
(not available)
•
In the EU, REGELWERK can't be supplied in
the 230V internal power supply version.
Export orders for countries with a different
mains supply from 230V will only be supplied
in the external power supply version.
•
For anyone else…. REGELWERK (without the
external power supply) is simply connected to
a 230V mains supply, and switched on at the
rear.
6.2 MIDI connections
6.2.1 MIDI IN connection
•
MIDI inputs MIDI IN1 and MIDI IN2 are used
for controlling and synchronising
REGELWERK from a source of external real-
time MIDI messages, for remote control of
various functions and effects over MIDI (fader
parameters / special menus etc.), and for the
reception of MIDI SysEx dumps.
•
The MIDI inputs have a very limited MIDI
merge capability, in that MIDI data present at
the IN can be relayed to the OUT socket.
•
This limited merge function is only really
useful for internal processing purposes in the
REGELWERK , because the presence of large
amounts of MIDI data can otherwise badly
affect timing.
•
If the data which is being sent to
REGELWERK to control it via the MIDI IN
also needs to be sent completely unchanged
to another piece of equipment, it's advisable
to use a MIDI THRU box with the necessary
number of outputs.
•
If the data also needs to be merged with
other data before being sent to another piece
of MIDI equipment, then an external merge
box needs to be used, such as the

6.2.2 MIDI OUT connection
MIDI outputs MIDI OUT1 & OUT2 send MIDI
data and realtime messages from the
REGELWERK to the rest of your MIDI set-up.
6.3 SYNC Input / Output
•
For control and synchronisation with a typical
'SYNC' square wave signal.
•
Depending on the mode chosen, it can be
either an output or an input.
•
In normal use, the REGELWERK SYNC
socket is configured as an output,
transmitting a square wave sync signal. The
other equipment connected by the SYNC lead
will need to be configured to receive sync –
