The Doepfer A-157 Trigger Sequencer Subsystem is a trigger sequencer subsystem that generates eight trigger signals controlled by a 8x16 LED/button matrix (some customers call it "Miniature Schaltwerk" as it is based on the same matrix as the no longer available Schaltwerk). The subsystem contains three modules:
The LED/button matrix module A-157-1 is the core of the subsystem. It is used to set or reset the trigger event on each of the 16 steps of each of the 8 rows. In addition the buttons and LEDs of the matrix are used for other functions too (like setting the first and last step of each row or addressing the preset memory).
The Trigger Output module A-157-2 outputs the 8 trigger signals and has an LED display for each trigger available.
The Control Inputs module A-157-3 has manual controls and trigger inputs available for the basic control functions start, stop, reset and clock. In addition four functions inputs are available which will be used in future firmware versions to assign these inputs to special functions (e.g. shifting a row left or right by means of an external gate/trigger signal or a second set of start, stop, reset and clock for individual rows).
The three modules are internally connected via ribbon cables and can be arranged also in another layout (e.g. A-157-2/3 on the right side of the A-157-1 or in a row above or below). The modules are available only as a complete set.
In addition to the main 8x16 matrix this modules contains also the buttons and LEDs for these functions:
This is the trigger/gate output module that has 8 sockets with assigned LEDs available. The width of the output signal depends upon the width of the incoming clock signal, i.e. the width of the output signals is the same as the width of the incoming clock signal.
The level of the output signal is software controlled (i.e. not fixed to a certain value) as each outputs is equipped with a separate DAC (digital-to-analog converter). In the first version of the firmware the level is fixed to ?V.
This module is the master control unit for Start, Stop, Reset and Clock. In addition four function controls and inputs are available that will be used in future firmware versions to address certain functions also from external signals (e.g. shifting a row ). Each function has a manual operated button and a control input. The voltage at each input has to be +3 V... +12 V to trigger the function in question.
