Re: Advice please !

hello,

the quantizer is only for control voltages and not
for audio signals. you have to put your pitch cv
through the quantizer and not the vco output.

it should be like this:

pitch cv (from sequencer or whatever) into quantizer input.
quantizer output into vco pitch cv input.

i suggest that you download the a156 manual from the
doepfer homepage. this will make things a lot clearer.

best wishes

ingo
