Doepfer

just to answer my own question, in case it's useful to someone in the
future, i spoke to ASys, and the answer is no, the 12v runs down
different strips of the ribbon between the two formats, so my kludge
would not have worked, but ASys sell an adapter cable for £8. 

(they also sell nice coloured short 3.5mm patch cables, i noticed). 

very good news about the imminence of the a189-1.
