Doepfer

You are very correct - The AS system power supply headers are more  
different than just the keyed headers, the pin-out is different also  
- Big City sells adaptor cables to go from AS modules to Doepfer  
cases but don't know the abut the other way round. The AS site is  
pretty poor on the technical details. At least I can't find things  
like weather a module uses +5V or not on their site any where (other  
than "+5V used on digital modules). They show their power supply  
rails as being Rail 1=+12v, Rail 2=+5V and Rail 3= -12V. These are  
not in the same order as the doepfer -12v, GND, GND, +12V, +5  
arrangement of course - hence the adaptor cables.
