Dieter Döpfer

Dieter Döpfer began developing audio hardware in 1977 with a voltage controlled phaser module for the Formant analog modular synthesizer from Elektor magazine.

The company Doepfer Musikelektronik GmbH was founded in 1977 by Dieter Döpfer and has its main office in Gräfelfing, Germany.

The Doepfer A-100 is the system that restarted the modular market in the early 1990's.
