hi tom, by comparing my moded and unmoded a155's i saw that the moded a155's really can be clocked even from saw waves and run normally(that's a bad thing,isn't it???)and,also they step correctly when you manually step them with the step button,not as the unmoded a155 do... bakis

hi brandon, nope,i think they reset to step 8!(that is valid for the GT8,SQ8 modules).they only reset to step 1 if they are internally connected to the MC01 master clock module that is now discontinuied... well,i'm not sure about the oberkorn,but this is an analogue/midi sequence

The A155 as mentioned always resets to step 1 and starts at step 2. Not sure what's causing the lag, but if you're using a software sequencer its possible that a lot of active sensing messages or other spurious midi messages are clogging the A190 processor a bit. Joe --- In Doepf

Actually, I have no problem with the A190-A155 combination. I mean, there is a slight lag (which I assume is down to the MIDI digital to analog CV conversion), but the sequencer parks at step one, and starts at step two. The lag doesn't bother me much, and seeing as how I multitr

For a 6U-ish configuration, I'd put off A129/3 until phase II because of real estate constraints. Likewise other larger modules like the A155 sequencer, triple resonator, and VC ADSR. Even the 12U multimode filter is questionable, you'd get more flexibility for exotic series and
