Doepfer A-134-1 Vc Pan MKII

This is quite a useful module. It does panning when that is what you need. But it is also useful for other things. The center mix output makes it effectively a VC mixer too. So, panning, VCA or VC mixer – in one!

I dont really like the feeling of the knobs and jack sockets. The knobs are a bit heavy and the jack sockets feel a bit loose. But that is a matter of taste.

Another con was that I could not find any indication which way around to put the power connector, neither in the manual nor on the module. And since it is rotated 90° from the usual Doepfer orientation the "red-stripe down" mantra fails to make sense. I got it wrong at first, but vigilantly looking at the power LEDs, I quickly turned off power before the magic smoke was let out. The module still worked fine when I got it connected correctly.

The correct orientation of the power cable is show on the Thomann product description page images. So study that before trying to connect.
