AW: [Doepfer_a100] slew blues

If you have an A-185-1 or A-185-2 available please check if the tuning is
correct if you insert the A-185-1/2 buffer between the output of the A-170
and the A-110. In general the lower section of the A-170 cannot be used for
VCO CV applications as mentioned on page 4 of the user's manual.

Best wishes
