The funny thing is, I just tried my A114 Ring Modulator for doubling frequency, and it's working just fine. I have the sine wave output from an A110 split with an A118 multiple and patched to both of the A114's inputs. I wonder what's the deal with yours? Joe ---- In Doepfer_a100

If you're using the DIN sync on the 808, it won't really work with MIDI sync. As it turns out, DIN sync cables - although they appear to be MIDI cables - actually use the other 2 pins of the cable. Unfortunately, I found this out the hard way. When I was syncing my Technosaurus s
