Another brilliant utility from Doepfer

Stephen662 19.08.2015

This is a really useful module for enhancing the rhythmic possibilities of your euro-rack system. Great for generating snare or tom type rolls as well as making previously straight 16th sequences more complex by adding extra steps and skips. Also fun to trigger envelope-vca to apply complex pulses to your audio. Many uses.

The A-160-5 is only 4hp wide, so if your looking for a bit of clock fun in not much room it is a good option.

There are other multipliers out there - this by Doepfer is a bit different, as it offers 3 unique types of multiplication (all 3 going to a max of x 16), selectable by a simple toggle switch. In addition the the amount of multiplication can be set with the front panel knob or controlled by a voltage.

This means, you can either wiggle the knob to adjust the multiplications as desired, or more interestingly, send a sequencer, envelope or LFO voltage to get the multiplications dancing around. When the control voltage is inserted the knob has no function - so you may want to use an attenuator when cv-ing from a envelope or LFO.

I have deducted 1 star on the features because of this (the knob could have been made to perform this function when under cv control IMHO)

There are LED's for the input clock and multiplied clock output, so you get a visual representation of what's happening.

A point to note if you have not used a multiplier before... it can not predict the future! So, it needs a few established clocks before it can accurately spit out the multiplied clocks correctly. Obviously it also needs the clocks to be regular in order to perform accurate multiplication.

Great fun and as usual for Doepfer, great value and solid build quality.

Works like a charm

At first I was a bit confused about the interpretation of "multiplier" and "divider", depending from what perspective. I mean, mathematically to divide means to make less and to multiply means to make more. But here it is the other way around ;-) Anyway, this module does not need a user manual, is straightforward to use as all explanation is printed on the device itself. Works like a charm. When patching to another hole, it first finishes off the current cycle, which for me is very neat.

Excellent for that Ratchet Sequencing Sound

Ce module va vraiment donner vie à vos séquences.

Mon avis est un peu à chaud, mais j'avais envie de le donner.

Je m'en sers dans un contexte Berlin School. Jusqu'à présent, mes séquences étaient assez basiques, même si ce style se prête au minimalisme. Mais maintenant, je contrôle avec une des lignes de mon séquenceur, il me suffit juste de tourner le potentiomètre vers la droite pour avoir la note répétée 2, 3, 4 fois ou plus (mais après, ça ne devient pas trop musical).

Les trills à la Chris Franke sont à votre portée avec ce module. Ce petit module (qui ne prend que 4hp) a vraiment relancé en moi l'envie de trifouiller mes séquences et obtenir de nouvelles sonorités que je n'avais jamais réussi à obtenir.

On peut donc contrôler avec un signal CV, mais aussi manuellement avec le potentiomètre du module (la photo ici ne le montre pas, cherchez sur internet vous trouverez). Cela dit, je ne trouve pas que ça soit très pratique.

4 étoiles, car comme je disais, une fois qu'on dépasse des trills par 4, ça ne devient plus vraiment musical (ça peut toujours servir pour des expérimentations j'imagine). Ce qui rend ce module assez limité dans son utilisation, mais il le fait très bien.
Ah, et il ne démarre pas au quart de tour. Faut le temps au module de recevoir le signal CV. (après environ 3 pas sur mon séquenceur, c'est parti). Rien de grave mais à signaler quand même.
