AW: [Doepfer_a100] A-118 white noise not white

The A-118 derives the white noise simply by amplifying the noise of the
base-emitter transition of an npn transistor. Each transistor generates a
little bit a different noise. Probably your A-118 contains a transistor with
a more dark noise. Replacing the transistor Q1 may change the noise sound.
