Ribbon Controller. The controlling element of the A-198 is a linear position sensor (length about 50 cm) hat has available a pressure sensor too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTouching the sensor with a finger generates a control voltage CV1 that is proportional to the position of the finger. The scale (i.e. the relation between position difference and voltage difference) is adjustable with a potentiometer at the front panel. A hold switch is used to determine if the CV voltage is held after removing the finger (hold = on) or if the CV voltage jumps to 0V (hold = off). In the last case (hold = off) a gate signal is derived from the CV voltage whenever a finger touches the sensor (e.g. for triggering an envelope generator).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA sensitive pressure sensor located below the position sensor generates a second control voltage CV2 that increases with higher pressure of the finger. Even for CV2 the scale is adjustable. A second gate signal is triggered as soon as the pressure exceeds a certain value. The gate threshold is adjustable at the front panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sensors are located in a separate metal frame (length about 600 mm, width about 30 mm, height about 18 mm, weight: about 900 g, color: silver-grey). The connection between the module and the sensor frame is made by a 4 pin cable (same as used for USB connections).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical applications:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrautonium manual, the string is replaced by the position sensor that is much easier to use and cheaper than the string. In combination with the Subharmonic Oscillator A-113, the Trautonium Filter A-104 and some auxiliary modules a complete Trautonium replica may be realized. In combination with the Quantizer A-156 exact semitone intervals are possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRibbon Controller for any A-100 parameter (e.g. pitch, filter frequency, loudness, panorama, speed, modulation depth and so on)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eManual measures: about 600 x 30 x 18 mm (without covering cap) \/ about 600 x 30 x 30 mm (with covering cap at the right end)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight of the manual: about 1kg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower consumption: 40mA at +12V and 20mA at -12V\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepth: 40mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 HP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInfo from Alex4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Doepfer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48400022732970,"sku":null,"price":305.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0517\/4699\/6394\/files\/image_33aa01e4-2ad0-40e6-b3dc-b057cdf8615e.png?v=1781210662","url":"https:\/\/www.missionsynths.com\/products\/doepfer-a-198-trautonium-manual-ribbon-controller-special-order","provider":"Mission Synths","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
