Classic A-190, DIY modified with Clock Hold and -Shuffle

Combination of the classic MIDI interface A-190 from http://www.doepfer.de which is deprecated, but might be available on ebay, and the DIY kit shufflebox from frequencyresponse:

The button allows to stop the clock for the A-100 system against a steady external MIDI master clock, then restart it – both actions delayed to the next beat (quarter note). The poti allows to shuffle the clock. It works very well.

Requires MIDI sockets in the case. MIDI In from case goes into MIDI In from shufflebox, MIDI Out from shufflebox goes to MIDI In of the A-190, A-190 MIDI Out goes to the cases MIDI out socket. You may want to use a coupling jacks between the modified module and the case terminals (one MIDI jack with all 5 contacts connected does the job).

The modifications requires medium skills. Hints:

• Unsolder MIDI sockets from A-190.
• Solder shufflebox kit except sockets and switch.
• Cut shufflebox circuit board to match eurorack height. The MIDI / DIN Sync input selector of the shufflebox is on the removed part. It must be bridged in MIDI position on the remaining part of the circuit board.
• To piggyback the shufflebox to the A-190 you need to drill one hole in the shufflebox circuit board (the other hole exists already).
• I placed the shufflebox LED close to the A-190 buttons which have plenty of space to let the light shine through. You could also put the LED in the front plate of the A-190.
• I used a heavy "vandalism proof" trigger switch in the right size for the existing hole, and a 17mm aluminum poti cap, both from reichelt.de. The poti can be centered using a washer of matching size. The result feels very solid.
