AW: [Doepfer_a100] Inverting the A174 joysick output

2009-05-08 by yahoo@doepfer.de

From the theory it should work if you swap the cables leading to the end
terminals of each potentiometer (the center cable remains unchanged). The
jumpers are used to install/remove a voltage plateau around in the center
position (installed = no plateau).

Best wishes
