Doepfer has released its first six 1U-format Eurorack modules, embracing the increasingly popular 1U (Pulp Logic / Intellijel) row standard. The modules are the A-130-3(1U) Dual VCA, A-138-6(1U) 6-channel mixer, A-142-5(1U) Dual Decay/LFO, A-142-6(1U) AD/LFO, A-155-3(1U) Miniature Ratcheting Analog Sequencer, and A-190-7(1U) Micro MIDI-to-CV/Gate Interface — all available to order now.
The A-130-3(1U) is a 1U version of the A-130-3 Dual linear/exponential VCA. The A-138-6(1U) is a 6-input mixer where each input can be routed to one of two outputs or both. The A-142-5(1U) provides two independent decay envelopes or LFOs, while the A-142-6(1U) offers an AD envelope and LFO. The A-155-3(1U) is a miniature ratcheting analog sequencer — the 1U version of the A-155-2 — and the A-190-7(1U) is a micro MIDI-to-CV/Gate interface for 1U rows.
Doepfer also introduced the A-100 Suitcase Version 7U Case, based on the popular basic A-100 6U case but replacing the strips at top and bottom with a new 1U row located in the middle to accommodate the new modules. The 1U format allows higher module density in the same vertical space, and Doepfer’s adoption signals the format’s maturation from niche to mainstream Eurorack standard.
All modules maintain Doepfer’s characteristic straightforward design philosophy — no menus, no hidden functions, every parameter with a dedicated control. The A-155-3(1U) sequencer in particular brings ratcheting (multiple triggers per step) to the 1U format, a feature typically found on larger sequencers. Pricing per module ranges from approximately $60–$187 (€55–€170) depending on complexity.
