Thanks Dieter, I'd be interested in Christian's findings - especially as some of the parameters change in a stepped log way.

Even the ACE 16V is among these units. Christian is about to "torture" the boards to find out how they behave under analog control. We found that many of these boards are useless for analog control because of the artefacts or mutes caused during the alteration of parameters. I'll have to ask him how the ACE 16V behaves. The analog control is simple: you have to generate a voltage in the range ~ +0.1 to + 3.9 V and connect the voltage to pin 12 of the ACE 16V. You have to pay attention that the voltage applied to the pin 12 does not become negative or go beyond +5V. Otherwise the ACE 16V will be destroyed! A suitable protection circuit has to be added as the voltages coming from A-100 modules are not limited to this voltage range.
