A-180

2009-11-15 by Computer Controlled

I've noticed recently that the A-180 Multiple really cuts the voltage 
signal down quite substantially. I just got an MFB Dual ADSR and noticed 
that when i mult the Gate Output of my SH-101 by 3x, it drops the gate 
voltage down to where the MFB won't trigger anymore. Basically, i had it 
set up where the gate out went into the A-180, then the first 2 outs 
went to the two Gate Ins on the MFB and the 3rd out went to my A-140 EG. 
If i pulled the cable out that went to the A-140, the MFB would fire, 
but not with it inserted. However, it works if i use my 303, which has a 
hotter Gate signal. I checked the gate out voltages coming of the 101 
direct, then at each output of the A-180. I got the following:

Direct Out from 101: 11.56v
Into the A-180 w/no other cables inserted: same as above
with 2 cables inserted: 7v
with 3 cables inserted: 5.5v

This is quite a bit of voltage drop if you ask me. Is there anyway to 
mod the A-180 so it doesn't eat up all my voltages?
