In principle an A-180 cannot do this job as you never should short outputs
(but that's what you do if you connect the CV out of an A-190 and A-155). In
the A-100 nothing can be damaged by shortening outputs but it's a basic
principle not to do that.
For your application you need a mixer/adder. But the VCOs also have a second
CV input available for this application (one via bus from the A-190 and one
in front from the A-155).
