As I await an announcement about the monster base cases, I'm wondering how one would go about flying on an airplane with one of these. It's obviously too big for carry-on, but it's not a flight case so you couldn't check it directly -- I suppose one would have to pack it inside s

Hi David The easierst point to test is the bus board (you might have to take a few modules out for good access). The 16 pol plugs are label with the voltages (check between GND and +5V/-12V/+12V). Please do this only if you familiar with this type of work as otherwise you might d

Hello, The top VCA on my A132 will pass a small amount of signal even if 0 volts are present at the CV in. The bottom VCA does not have this problem. Adjusting the "offset" on the circuit board doesn't fix this. Is there anything I can do? Thanks, Monroe [Non-text portions of thi

The "30 cm" Doepfer cable I just pulled out to measure is almost 34 cm tip-to-tip, and just under 27 cm if you measure just the actual cable, excluding the thicker 'grip' part (sorry I don't know the terminology). From the base of each metal plug, the length is 31 cm. Likewise th

Bakis, Would you please specify whether we're voting on the length tip-to-tip or the cable length between plugs? Also, as the plugs on my Doepfer patch cables are about 4.5cm long a 10cm tip-to-tip cable would only have an "effective length" of about 1cm and thus could not be use

If two standard 8 HP wide modules each with 5 sockets and 5 pots are mounted next to each other a 18.5cm tip-to-tip cable will allow you to connect any socket on one to any socket on the other. I think an extra 1½cm slack wouldn't hurt, so 20cm tip-to-tip sounds to me like a good

Hi Richard, Analogue Systems make the modules. The Analogue Systems RS95 is also a close representation of the VCO's and they will also do multi turn pots with vernier dials too. As for the gain stages, the VCS3's are quite basic or should I say crude which is what helps give the
