Re: [Doepfer_a100] A-188-1 clock frequency input

Surely you just need to amplify it a touch with A183-3 then run it through an offset/attenuator. Job done!

Still, I was wondering if there might be some sort of (presumably warranty-voiding, and I'm fine with that) mod I could do to make CV1 and/or CV2 everso slightly more sensitive?  Is there a preset potentiometer or something for this, perhaps?
