Doepfer A-160 Clock/Trigger Divider (4HP) Overview

View this description in Czech

The Doepfer A-160 Clock/Trigger Divider is designed to divide clock/gate/trigger signals and to be a source of lower frequencies. The A-160 is perfect for rhythmic uses, with a trigger input that allows click signals from a variety of sources. The A-160's outputs provide you with access to the sub-divided clock signals, from half of the clock frequency all the way down to 1/64. The lowest output signal is 0V, whilst this highest is approximately +10V. The module is also equipped with a reset input, enabling you to set all of the outputs to 0 when a reset signal is sensed by the A-160. The outputs remain at 0 until the reset voltage disappears. The A-160 is perfect for combining with Doepfer's Clock Sequencer to create stepped sequences with a length from 1 to 8 events.

Usage Examples

'Ping-Pong' Effect

The A-160 can be used to produce a Ping-Pong effect. With each note on the keyboard (gate signal), the audio will jump between the left and right outputs. This happens because the A-160 is halving the gate frequency, and triggering a module such as the A-150 VCA, so that each of its outputs is active only every other note.

ADSR Envelope with Re-Triggering

By using different outputs from the A-160, it is possible to have envelopes re-triggering different numbers of times, from 2 up to 32. For example, an ADSR is re-triggered by a square-wave LFO, sub-divided in the A-160 by a factor of four, whilst the original whole LFO oscillation is patched to the re-trigger input on the ADSR. This creates a new repeating envelope.
