doepfer System A - 100 Modular Vocoder A-129 /3/4

P Because as a modular vocoder the A-129 is
totally open-ended, it would be wrong to be
prescriptive about its use. Better to appeal to
your sense of adventure and experimenta-
tion. Particularly when you add other modu-
les into the equation, the A-129 should en-
able you to create some extraordinary
sounds.
P Especially to begin with, though, don’t forget
the sound source and signal processing tips
and suggestions in the basic vocoder modu-
les’ manuals.
A-129 /2 as a filter bank
The vocoder’s synthesis section can be used in con-
junction with the A-129 /3 as a filter bank (see Fig. 5).
The A-129 /3’s offset controls govern the intensity of
the individual frequency bands within the total audio
spectrum (the output of the synthesis section).
You can also create a sort of voltage controlled filter
bank by using CVs from a wide range of modules to
set or modulate the levels of the frequency bands.
See user examples in the basic modules’ manuals,
and ‘Further adventures’ in this manual.
