Doepfer A-110-1 Standard VCO
Classic analog VCO with four simultaneous waveform outputs
10 HP Eurorack module
The Doepfer A-110-1 is a standard analog voltage-controlled oscillator and one of the foundational modules in the A-100 system. It provides four simultaneous waveform outputs — sawtooth, triangle, pulse, and sine — with accurate 1V/Oct tracking, linear and exponential FM inputs, hard sync, and pulse width modulation. A straightforward, reliable VCO for building classic subtractive patches.
Features
- 4 simultaneous waveform outputs: sawtooth, triangle, pulse, sine
- 1V/Oct exponential CV tracking input
- Linear FM input for through-zero-style modulation
- Exponential FM input with attenuator
- Pulse width modulation via CV or manual control
- Hard sync input for timbral effects
- Coarse and fine frequency tuning knobs
- Wide frequency range from sub-audio LFO rates to high audio
Controls & Jacks (15)
- PWM Level— Attenuator controlling the depth of voltage-controlled pulse width modulation
- CV2— Secondary frequency modulation CV input with level attenuator
- CV1 Level— Attenuator for the CV1 input signal controlling frequency modulation depth
- CV2 Level— Attenuator for a secondary CV input signal controlling frequency modulation depth
- Tune— Fine-tuning control; approximately +/-1 semitone on older units, +/-1/2 octave on units from mid-2015 onward
- Rectangle Out— Rectangle/square waveform audio output at approximately 8Vpp with adjustable pulse width
- CV1— Primary 1V/octave pitch CV input, normalled to Doepfer bus CV when no cable is inserted
- Sawtooth Out— Sawtooth waveform audio output at approximately 8Vpp
- Sine Out— Sine waveform audio output at approximately 10Vpp
- PWM CV— CV input for voltage-controlled pulse width modulation of the rectangle waveform
- Pulse Width— Manual pulse width adjustment for the rectangle/square waveform
- Triangle Out— Triangle waveform audio output at approximately 10Vpp
- Sync— Hard sync input that resets the oscillator to the beginning of its waveform cycle
- PWM CV— input cv
- Pulse Out— Pulse/square wave output with variable pulse width.
