Doepfer

Hi ps

Welcome to the group.

I tried your proposed setup - A185 bus access module patched to an 
A180 multiples, and from there to three VCOs (de-normaled from the 
system bus). It stayed in tune with a reference pitch. Without the 
A185 it didn't work.

I also tried it with an A170 slew limiter patched in before the A185. 
Same result, no pitch problems with the A185 driving the VCOs via the 
multiples.

It looks like your plan will work.

Joe
