Hi I think there is no "wrong" or "right" range. The P6 is an offset, which can be set arbitrarily. I assume there is a standard setting by the production at Doepfer, but if you have bought the VCOs from any other person but a official distributor he might have changed those sett

Thanks for that Florian. However I think my range is still off... This what my VCO's are now tuned to: 0 = note C3 -1 = note C2 -2 = note C1 +1 = note C4 +2 = note C5 according the a110 adjustment procedure that the above is wrong, it should be: -2 = note C3 -1 = note C2 0 = note
