Re: AW: [Doepfer_a100] A-160 Clock Divider modification for Down-counting possible?

2010-11-23 by Florian Anwander

Hello

That is something which annoys me too.

I think the A160 should be dropped and a A160-2 should be introduced 
instead which uses a CD4029, which can be switched between counting 
up/down and also with a presettable reset position.
