Dieter could it be possible to write some new software for the MAQ, ie: when you turn any of the potentiometers (knobs) on the 3x16 rows, in the small LCD screen it would tell you what note it is on (see - the P3 sequencer) ie: C2, G#3, C4 etc, rather than just tuning the pitch.

No. Even the CV outputs of the MAQ16/3 are quantized in 1/12V steps (in all note modes) ! Only for the very first MAQ16/3 before about 1996/1997 (those without CV/Gate outputs from the factory and software 2.xx or earlier) a guy here in Germany offered a non-quantized CV out modi

You wouldn't use it for an LFO because the CV input on the VCOs would be unattenuated. For that purpose you'd use multiples. The purpose of the 185 is to send gates to multiple EGs or a common unattenuated CV to a maximum, probably, of 2 VCOs, e.g. from a sequencer or keyboard. T

hello bryan, from my experience you need the a185 only when sending a pitch cv to multiple origins, lets say you send a quantized voltage to three vco's and a filter. as long as you use a buffered multiple like the a185 you will be fine, but when using an unbuffered multiple like
