Unlock the full potential of your modular synth setup with the Doepfer A-156 QNT Dual Quantizer. This versatile module transforms continuous control voltages into precisely stepped musical scales, offering a dynamic range of creative possibilities. Whether you're crafting complex arpeggios or adding harmonic depth to your compositions, the A-156 delivers advanced quantization options including major/minor scales and chords, along with the addition of sixths and sevenths. Ideal for use with a variety of continuous sources—like theremins, ribbon controllers, or light-to-CV modules—this dual quantizer ensures your output is always musical and on-point.

For even more nuanced control, the transpose CV input allows for real-time modulations, quantizing in semitone steps to affect both quantizers simultaneously. While Quantizer 1 offers flexible scale and chord settings, Quantizer 2 simplifies things with a fixed semitone grid, making it perfect for more straightforward applications. Whether you're a seasoned synthesist or just getting started with modular gear, the Doepfer A-156 is a powerful tool to elevate your sound design.

Key Features:

• Dual quantizer for Eurorack modular synthesizers

• Quantizer 1: adjustable scales and chords (major/minor, fundamental fifth, sixths, sevenths)
• Quantizer 2: fixed to semitone grid
• Transpose input quantized in semitone steps affects both quantizers
• Perfect for analog sequencers, ribbon controllers, theremins, and more
• 8 HP width, 55mm depth
• Power consumption: +50mA (+12V), -10mA (-12V)
