Re: [Doepfer_a100] Various questions

2002-03-02 by bakis Sirros

thanks mdimmm,
i asked for the a199...as for your other questions...i
don't have the freq. shifter so i can't help you on
that...a way to create a manual gate is by using the
a155 stopped(but with the start button on,i think...)
in a step you want and send gate signals from the gate
output(row 4),also with the cv source module if you
turn the knob fully to the right it send a+5volts
signal so you can use it like a gate source....
