The circuits of the A-177 and A-177-2 are totally different. The A-177 used
"active" circuits (operational amplifiers), the A-177-2 is a simple passive
module with pull-up resistors for the foot switches only (no capacitors).

That's indeed strange. I'll try to copy the behaviour in our demo system. It
probably has to do with glitches and bouncing and the different input
behaviour of A-165 and A-148 in case of glitches at the input.
