Doepfer A-160-5V Clock Multiplier / Ratchet Black EURORACK NEW PERFECT CIRCUIT
Description
Module A-160-5 is a voltage controlled clock multiplier. The incoming clock signal (socket� Clock In) is multiplied by a factor that depends upon the control voltage on socket� CV In� (0...+5V) and the position of the� Mode� switch. The multiplied clock signal is available at the socket� Clock Out. According to the position of the Mode switch different clock multiplying factors are assigned to the control voltage. With 0V CV no clock output is generated. This state is indicated by "all LEDs off". With increasing CV integer factors (left position of the mode switch), power of two factors (middle position) or a mix of both (right position) are obtained. Nine LEDs are used to show the currently selected multiplying factor. In addition two LEDs are used to display the incoming and outgoing clock signal.
A manual control is used to adjust the clock multiplication factor manually without the need of an external control voltage. The voltage generated by this control ("Manual") is normalled to the CV In socket. As long as no plug is inserted into the CV In socket the clock multiplication factor is adjusted by means of the manual control knob and displayed by the LEDs. For dynamic applications (like the ratcheting function described below) the manually generated CV is overwritten by the external CV which has to be fed into the CV In socket.
The module can be used for all kind of clock multiplying applications. One important example is the generation of so-called� ratcheting sequences. The band Tangerine Dream is famous for this kind of sequences. A normal sequencer generates only one gate signal per step. A ratcheting sequence may have also more than one gate pulses per step. This function can be obtained by using the A-160-5: one CV output of the sequencer is used to define the number of gate pulses per step. If the control of the step in question is fully CCW the generated CV is 0V and no gate signal is generated (mute of the step). When the control of the step in question is turned clockwise one, two or more gate pulses are generated depending upon the position of the mode switch and the voltage generated by the CV at this step.
In most cases, orders are processed and shipped within one business day. Orders placed before 1pm US Pacific time during the week are generally shipped the same day. Contact us with any questions or special requests and we will do our best to accommodate you.
We offer free shipping on most items over $99 to destinations within the continental US. Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and international destinations will require shipping and handling charges. We ship to most countries in the world via FedEx or USPS; most international orders are delivered within 5 business days of shipment, barring unforeseen delays caused by customs or weather conditions.
We insure each package for its full value and require signature for most orders. International customers, take note that you are responsible for all duties and taxes imposed by your local government or customs officials. These fees are not included in our shipping/handling charges.
We are pleased to offer an extended warranty service, which in most cases covers you gear for one year beyond the expiration of the manufacturer's warranty. This free warranty means that you can always come to us in the event of a problem, even within the window of the manufacturer's warranty. Note that some specific items may not qualify for this service.
Seen the same gear elsewhere for less? Let us know. We are an authorized dealer for all new products that we carry, and in most cases, we can match the prices at any other authorized US-based retailer of the devices we sell.
We offer risk-free returns for most new items in our catalog. Most items purchased from Perfect Circuit have a 30-day return policy starting from the date of shipment. If a return is initiated within 15 days of the original shipment date, no restocking fees will be charged.
Note, however, that outgoing shipping costs will be charged for change-of-mind returns and faulty/warranty claim returns which we are unable to verify.
Some specific types of items are not eligible for returns—including (but not limited to) apparel, microphones, headphones, consumable goods, and media. Additionally, our return policy does not cover items damaged outside the course of normal use, nor does it cover items modified by customers or damaged due to use of improper power supply voltages. Please contact us with any questions regarding return eligibility.
Contact us in order to initiate a return, and we will help to guide you through the process.
Returns of new items made beyond the 15-day risk-free returns cutoff—as well as returns of Demo, B-Stock, or Used items—are subject to a 15% restocking fee. If an item is returned within the 15-day window but is damaged, missing its box or accessories, or is otherwise unfit for resale, a restocking fee will be charged.
*A small number of the items we sell do not qualify for free shipping due to size or manufacturer pricing policies
