Doepfer

So, it seems that the A118 as shipped from Doepfer works differently from
what the documentation says and differently from a logical perspective of
how it is labeled.  My question is this -- why don't they configure it
"right" in the first place?  I don't want to have the modify a product to
work properly AFTER I buy it.

This was the mail I recived from Dieter Doepfer on the subject:

That's normal as the random output is derived from the colored noise 
(factory setting). It is possible to derive the random output from 
the white noise so that the red and blue pots do not influence the 
random output.  For this the resistor R12 (100k) has to be removed 
and soldered to the position R12' (with apostrophe). The position of 
R12' is next to R12 and marked with a broken line (behind the random 
rate potentiometer).
