Re: [Doepfer_a100] Re: Can A-111 VCO reset with its sync?

2009-01-18 by Argitoth

Two more questions, Florian. I need the shortest trigger possible. In
the manual it says, the A-165 creates a 50ms trigger. Is that the
shortest possible? And, can you tell me more about this spike that the
A-111 VCO creates when it resets? Does this spike create a nice
definitive attack?
