It's the successor of the obsolete module A-179.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA light sensitive resistor (LDR) converts the illumination of the internal light sensor into a corresponding analog control voltage. The internal sensor is located at the front panel. Instead of the internal sensor a remote sensor can be connected via a standard patch cable to the module (ext.Sens. socket). An external sensor with a 2 m patch cable (A-100C200) is included. The external sensor is mounted on a small pc board which is equipped also with a 3.5 mm jack socket. The nut of the socket can also be used to mount the external sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe module A-179 is similar to the Theremin module A-178 but uses the illumination intensity instead of the distance between hand and antenna for generating the analog voltage.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e One can choose between passive control by covering\/shading the sensor via hand or body, or active control by using e.g. a pocket lamp or flashlight. For this two versions of output voltages are available (CV Out + und CV Out -).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe module has these controls and in\/outputs available:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eext.
