Doepfer

hello zoran,

the only module which uses the buss too is the a190,
but this module writes the buss instead of reading it.

basically all modules can use the system buss, but you
need a different ribbon cable and you have to solder
a connection between the cv/gate buss and the jack sockets
in question.

i own an a143/2 which responds to the gate buss,
but it is not the standard version, i ordered it
with this modification.

best wishes

ingo
