Nice & expressive controller

Review from: Clockgate at 07/06/21

The A-198 is a well constructed and nicely expressive controller. It works great with a quantizer for lead lines, especially if you use the pressure to control vibrato depth. When using for control of filter cutoff etc. it is often good to pass the output through a slew limiter for smoother control.

Lovely controller module

Review from: Mark E. at 04/22/25

Both the Doepfer A-198 module and the ribbon controller are decently build (As used from Doepfer).
It has a proper length "USB" cable for the Ribbon controller.

The Ribbon reacts as expected, simply to understand. I bought it for my Trautonium modules, but can also be used for other purposes.
With an attenuator, slew limiter or quantizer it gives you a lot more functionality and freedom to play the ribbon. But that is personal taste.

There is also will be an A-198-2 from Doepfer, which has midi in/out and a build in Quantizer, but is also more expensive. I didn't need these functions and the A-198 suits my needs.
