Re: [Doepfer_a100] Coupling two A138 mixers ?

another suggestion (as potential alternative to Dieters instruction):

I have the output potentiometer always set fully clockwise. In other 
words: I do not really need it.

So why not
- replace the poti electrically by fixed resistors
- mount a socket to the hole where the poti was mounted
- connect this socket with a fixed resistor pot and resistor
   to the central mixing point of the mixer.

I do not know the real potentiometer and resistor values at the moment, 
but try these.

So you would get a fifth input with fixed amplification, which can be 
used as for stacking mixers.
