Introduction
The A-100CGK is a monophonic keyboard with CV and Gate outputs. The main
application is the control of an A-100 system but even other modular systems or
synthesizers can be controlled provided that they use the 1V/octave standard. In
addition the A-100CGK has a Midi output.
The A-100CGK is a available as a ready built device with black metal case and a four
octave keyboard or as an OEM module. The OEM module contains only the
electronics kit and can be combined with any Fatar keybed with 2, 3, 4 or 5 octaves
(e.g. TP/6, TP/60, TP/7, TP/8S, TP/8O, TP/9). For these versions we do not offer a
suitable case. Rather the case has to be built by the customer. It's also possible to
install the OEM version with a suitable keybed (max. 4 octaves) into the top cover of
the A-100 Monster Base. Some of the available Fatar keybeds are listed on the
accessory page on our website www.doepfer.com > products > accessories. The
complete overview of all keybeds can be found on the Fatar website www.fatar.com.
All Fatar keybeds with up to 5 octaves can be combined with the A-100CGK OEM kit
(longer keybed are not possible).
These are the most important features of the A-100CGK (ready built version):
•
slightly weighted four octaves keybed TP/9 with velocity and monophonic after-
touch
•
black aluminium case with white printing
•
available in/outputs:
o
CV1: controlled by the currently pressed key, 1V/octave standard, 0...+5V
range (5 octaves)
o
CV2: controlled by the velocity, 0...+5V range
o
CV3: controlled by the after-touch sensor, ~ 0...+2.5V range
o
Gate: 0/+5V (can be changed internally to 0/+U or S-Trig, +U = voltage of the
used power supply, as for this modification the case has to be openden it
should be carried out by a specalized service center)
o
Midi In (so far not used)
o
Midi Out (only channel 1, with velocity, 0V CV1 corresponds to Midi note
number 36)
o
9V DC (for supply with an external wall outlet adapter, 7...12V are possible)
o
9 pin sub-D connector with CV1, CV2, CV3, Gate, Midi Out and supply voltage
(to establish a connection to the A-100 with one cable only and power the A-
100CGK from the A-100 frame, a suitable adapter module is in the planning
stage)
