usually there is no problem, but sometimes the cv-ranges
are different. the "standard" blacet vca's need a voltage
of +10 volts to open up completely, the doepfer vca's need
+5 volts. so doepfer eg's and blacet vca's don't make a good
combination.

one special case is the blacet frequency divider,
which can produce a voltage of +15 volts at one output.
some doepfer modules can be damaged when a voltage
greater than +12 volts is presented to certain inputs
(f.e. a150, a151, a155), so you have to be careful with that
blacet divider, if you will ever get one (it is discontinued).
