Re: [Doepfer_a100] Transposing sequences with A-155, A-190, A-180, A-138 and keyboard

Hi dr_boehm_lebt

For adding two control voltages for tonal control you need a precision 
adder.
An adder adds the two voltages, but prevents that the electronics of one 
module interact with the electronics of the other module.

A multiple is a direct current connection between all attached 
electronics. The electronic of each connected module will interact with 
the electronics of all the other connected modules. The results won't be 
predictable and in worts case you might destroy something.


A dedicated precision adder module is not existant at the moment in the 
product range of Doepfer. But there are several modules which can be 
used in a similar way. Basically all mixers like the A-138 are similar 
to an adder, but not exactly. Also the quantizer as asimilar function.

If you would modify it. it would become and adder, and would not be a 
multiple any longer.


Basic principle:

- Multiples provide several OUTPUTS where there was only one output before
- Mixers and adders provide several INPUTS where there was only one 
input before
