Doepfer

Hello!

i own an a100 suitcase cabinet with (still) just 3 modules.
since a few weeks i own an acidlab bassline ( www.acidlab.de ), which
is able to put out CV and gate. the cv is 1V/oct. -> no problem there.
the gate signal is mentioned in the manual as +12V, which leads me to
the question:

is a +12V gate signal dangerous for the a100 modules, which handle
usually +5V gate signals. 

in case of being dangerous: is it sufficient to let the 12V through an
easy attenuator potentiometer and set its resistance down untill a
suitable voltage is set? (in this case: which potentiometer would be
right? a simple 10k linear?)
it would be fine to use the basslines sequencer with the doepfer, but
i was too scared to try the 12V gate signal ;) (the cv works fine,
though). it would be even better if no external device, attenuator
etc. is necessary.

so far, 
greetings
