Step into the world of modular synthesis with the Doepfer A-117 DNG, a versatile module that merges a digital noise generator with a classic 808 sound source. This combination delivers a unique sound palette that is both rich and varied, making it an essential addition to your modular setup. The digital noise generator produces random sequences of square waves, offering everything from sporadic clicks to full-spectrum noise. Its noise color is distinct from traditional analog noise, providing a fresh sonic character.

The A-117 stands out with its ability to mimic the iconic sound of the Roland TR-808 and 606 drum machines. The module's 808 Source re-creates the multi-oscillator array that defined the hi-hat, cymbals, and cowbell sounds of these legendary machines. With manual settings and external clock control, you have the flexibility to tailor the rate using a VCO, LFO, or MIDI clock, allowing for intricate rhythm and sound design.

Whether you're crafting complex beats or exploring new auditory landscapes, the Doepfer A-117 DNG offers a dynamic range of possibilities for both novice and seasoned synthesists.

Key Features:

• Combines digital noise generation with 808 sound source
• Random sequences of square waves for variable noise color
• External clock control for versatile rate manipulation
• Re-creates iconic TR-808 and 606 drum machine sounds
• Flexible sound design options with multiple oscillators
