Doepfer A-196 PLL 4ms-company Parameter Locks: Automate synth parameters

Parameter Locks: Automate synth parameters for evolving

The sound will be just a little more thin and unresponsive than the real thing

The –10 dB function is effected by voltage division and should be used only where the danger of over-loading follow-on equipment with very high signal levels is present

Excellent for acoustic and electric instruments as well as for vocals

DYNAMIC RANGE (typical) Phantom: 112 dB

Doepfer A-196 PLL 4ms-company Parameter Locks: Automate synth parametersModule A 196 contains a so called phase locked loop (PLL). The basic PLL system is shown in the sketch at the bottom of this page. A PLL consists of three parts: voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), phase comparator (PC), and low pass filter (LPF). All parts are normally connected to form a closed loop frequency feedback system. This is how a PLL works: The output of the internal VCO (linear CV control, rectangle output) is compared with an external
