A-118 front panel, secured and ready for drilling |
I decided to add an extra Random Output to my A-118 Noise/Random Voltage module, which was quite an easy job.
After i removed the knobs and the sockets i could remove the frontpanel of the module.
I mounted it on a flat piece of (old)wood, and secured it with two nails to avoid the frontpanel slipping away.
With a nail and a hammer i punched a small guide-hole for my drill, and drilled an extra hole for the new mini-jack connector.
To protect the front-plate, you can use an adhesive foil or (painter's) masking tape to cover the front, but if you drill very carefully, and don't wipe but blow the aluminium-scrapes off the module you'll be fine.
A-118 extra random output wiring |
The connection was as easy as it looks, and it looks like my soldering-skills are (slightly) improving...
Finished module with extra random output |
Doepfer confirmed to me that "this just works as a mini multiple and doesn't lower the CV"
Now that the modification is done, the module sends 2 similar (controllable) random voltages to both outputs that i can use for all kinds of purposes throughout my modular synthesizer.
For a modification that was done in less than an hour, it is a nice improvement...
The mods described on this site will most likely void any warranty and, if not done carefully, can damage the circuit board, IC chips, and faceplates.
