Re: [Doepfer_a100] slew blues

2008-06-20 by Monroe Eskew

Is the tuning accurate when the pitch CV is not patched through the slew
limiter?
I don't use an a170 so I don't know if it's by design, but you may be able
to make up for it by amplifying the CV with an A133 polarizer, or some
mixer/amplifier with <1 gain.
