Doepfer

David,

I have sent you an email on April 18, 2006 (to you directly) with this
question and got no answer so far:

I have problems to understand what you mean with the extra triggers. Does
this mean that a trigger appears even if the corresponding switch is "off" ?
I could not understand this as the switch interrupts the trigger line in the
"off" state. Please specify when (at which position) the extra triggers
appear.

Best wishes
Dieter Doepfer
