external inputs w/ a-100

external inputs w/ a-100

2006-07-06 by redsawcloud

Would it be dangerous to take an external 1/4" synth output directly into a VCA and adjust 
the volume to Doepfer signal level? Or to use a 4096 sqaure oscillator running on a 9v 
battery as a trigger source for an adsr? What are the risks in bringing in external signals 
both for audio and triggering without using the A-119? 
I'm not sure I understand any details. Thanks for any knowledge.

I don't expect any problems with your applications.

As long as the voltages applied to any socket are within -12V...+12V we
guarantee that nothing can be damaged within the A-100. But even voltages
beyond these limits will not damage most of the inputs (e.g. audio inputs
and CV inputs with attenuators). But there is one exception: inputs and
outputs of modules that use voltage controlled switches (e.g. A-150, A-151,
A-152, A-154, A-155, A-148), older versions of A-150 and A-151
(max. -8V...+8V), and CV or audio inputs without attenuators. For these
in/outputs the voltages applied should be within -12V...+12V.

Best wishes
