Firstly it's not a stupid question so don't be sorry. The quantizer takes a CV source (LFO, sequencer, joystick etc) as its input, its quantized output goes to the oscillator's CV input (preferably an input that is 1V/octave such as CV1 on aDoepfer A-110). There are a couple of good diagrams in the A-156 manual here http://www.doepfer.de/a100_man/A156_man.pdf<br /><br />Best<br />TonySynovatronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04605981584640420453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3346907218642036321.post-51582141440884223972015-11-05T15:16:25.044+00:002015-11-05T15:16:25.044+00:00Ok I get some of it.

This is probably a really stupid question but I'm confused sorry.

I...Thanks for that BV, the live set up looks great. It's always interesting to see what gets used in a live setup - no padding, all grunt! The A-174 and A-156 work very well together; I use two of each. It's surprising how rhythmic and melodic harmonies can be derived from just two A-174 joy-sticks. <br /><br />Check out https://soundcloud.com/monakrome/magic-box-2 a bit odd but entirely played on Roland 100m VCOs, LFOs and VCFs using a Doepfer Joystick controlling Roland LFO levels with a pair of Doepfer linear VCAs via a Doepfer dual quantizer, tempo set by a LFO, The filters are controlled manually and also by long time constant ADSRs triggered by the quantizer.<br /><br />I will keep my eye on Gusgus!<br />Cheers<br />TonySynovatronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04605981584640420453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3346907218642036321.post-34134388241452395182015-01-02T14:39:31.758+00:002015-01-02T14:39:31.758+00:00The A-156 is the key element of the dopfer synth u...The A-156 is the key element of the dopfer synth used in the Gusgus live set. There it is used with A-174 to create two quantized pitch benders directed to two of the three oscilators of the synth. Basically can change given baseline to solos with this. https://www.facebook.com/27595561729/photos/a.10150279728641730.356072.27595561729/10150279729246730/?type=3&theater Love BV.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3346907218642036321.post-78378635356015054142011-02-09T08:43:09.043+00:002011-02-09T08:43:09.043+00:00Hi Benjamin,

Are you totally a Doepfer user or do you have other manufacturers too? My Eurorack line-up is ever growing and now includes Doepfer, Analogue Systems, Analogue Solutions, TipTop, MFB, DinSync and my own Synovatron modules. I need more rack space!!!!!<br /><br />Have fun with your synth!<br /><br />Cheers<br />TonySynovatronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04605981584640420453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3346907218642036321.post-92181511669177787252011-02-08T11:42:24.251+00:002011-02-08T11:42:24.251+00:00Just discovered your blog.

I've been tempted to mod mine but am thinking of using a 4hp panel sat between my two A-156s with the switches on that and using 3-pin sockets to connect the switches to the jumpers.Synovatronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04605981584640420453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3346907218642036321.post-28754388088500307092010-12-14T18:30:07.437+00:002010-12-14T18:30:07.437+00:00Great post, highly informative and also one of my ...Great post, highly informative and also one of my favorite modules.<br />This module makes playing the ribbon controller and theremin more fun too, with an added A-170 Dual Slew Limiter.<br />I hope to modify my A-156 soon, by wiring the internal jumpers to an extra switch on the frontside as described here: <br />http://www.analoguehaven.com/usercomm/diy/<br />Keep up the good work!Pierre Sernéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05289206042646221595noreply@blogger.com
