I assume that it has to do with AC/DC coupling of the audio in/outputs. It is important to know if you use the old version of A-131 (with CEM3382) or the new one (with CA3080). The old versions of A-130/A-131 had AC coupled in/outputs as this was a precondition of the CEM3382. In

I recently noticed that if I connect my Digisound 80-6L or EFM VCF7 to the A-131 and use a short attack I get loud clicks from the VCA, quite different (and a whole lot louder) than the short click I'm used to getting with zero attack. Could this be due to some interaction or bad
