The public way is a A-185 bus access http://www.doepfer.de/a185.htm

The semi public way is taking a A180 multiples 
http://www.doepfer.de/a180.htm
cut the connecting lines between sockets 1, 2, and 3 and solder the 
tip-connectors of socket 1 and 2 to the busboard cvline and gateline.

the semiprofessional diy way is
get a A-100B4 4HP front panel (http://www.doepfer.de/a100z_e.htm) and 
two 3.5mm sockets, drill two holes into the panel, solder wires from the 
  panel to the busboard.

the dirtyhack diy way is
get two 3.5mm sockets, drill two holes into the backpanel (but keepaway 
from the powersupply), solder wires from the jacks to the busboard.


BE AWARE: do not feed additional external CV and gate if you are using a 
MIDI-interface-module like the A190 and if the CV outs of this module 
are already connected to the bussboard.
