Key Features
Doepfer A-140-2V Dual Micro ADSR, Vintage Edition (8HP) is a dual-channel version of Doepfer's popular A-140 module, consisting of two powerful ADSR envelope generators. Gate and retrigger controls also feature on this module with a variable CV time from one millisecond to 30 seconds so you're free to create short blips or fully developed sonic masterpieces - the power is in your hands.
Being a dual channel unit, it makes it easy for you to modulate two of your sources at once gifting you the ability to be versatile when creating sounds like nothing you've never heard before. What's more, the A-140-2V is only 8HP in size so you don't have to compromise space for power when adding it to your Eurorack set-up.

Envelope generators are powerful units and will be useful to any Eurorack set-up to help you shape and mould your signal. As soon as the gate section on the unit receives a suitable voltage, the ADSR section generates a variable voltage. The attack section (A) will determine how soon the sound reaches it's maximum voltage, one being very quickly for short snappy signals and ten being slower for longer signals. As soon as it reaches the loudest point it then moves to the decay (D) section, which controls how quickly it reaches the sustain stage set by the positioning of your decay dial. From there it moves through to sustain (S) which determines the amount of time your voltage will carry on in a steady state. Then finally release (R), is where the voltage is then dropped and as with the other dials the speed at which this happens is determined by the setting on the dial. This envelope shaping module is ideal for modulating both start and end points of your audio.
Unlike conventional ADSR modules, the Doepfer A-140-2V features a retrigger and inverse output. Retrigger allows you to hook up the unit to the output of an LFO, for example, and means that while the gate is open, the envelope will re-trigger and inverse will carry the same voltage envelope but inverted with negative voltages instead of positive ones. What's more thanks to the dual nature of the module, all of the controls are duplicated meaning you can open the door to more opportunities for sonic expansion.
Each ADSR section provides controls including:
