Re: [Doepfer_a100] Re: building my first system, need advice on powersupply..

hello ingo,
so,wouldn't it be better if the doepfer and blacet
modules mentioned their cv inputs/outputs voltage
range underneath each minijack input?this way, we all
would know better how to use each input/output(just
like the korg MS-series jack inputs/outputs that
mention their normal voltage range).
bakis.
