The following Doepfer_a100 poll is now closed.  Here are the 
final results: 


POLL QUESTION: Should Doepfer make a module that features the conversion between voltage based gate signals and switched keycontrol connections.

----General purpose: interface switched gear (like some Moog and Korg synths, footswitch controlers etc.) with voltage based gate gear (like A-100, Roland synths,...)

----Connectors:
 - "Gate in tip" (3,5mm)
 - "Gate in ring" (3,5mm) connected via socket switch to the inverted signal of "Gate in tip"
 - "Gate out" (3,5mm)
 - "Switched socket in" (2-poles 6,3mmm)
 - "Switched socket out" (3-poles 6,3mmm)
---------------------------------------------
Manual switch:
 -  "Gate out inverted/not-inverted"
---------------------------------------------
Functions:
 - closed connection bewteen tip and shaft of "Switched socket in"
  produces logical high signal (10V) at gate out (if manual switch is
  set to not-inverted), open connection between tip and shaft of
  "Switched socket in" produces logical low signal (10V) at gate out.
 - logical high signal (>0.5V) at "gate in tip", nothing connected
  to "gate in ring", causes the connection tip/shaft to be closed
  and the connection ring/shaft to be opened.
 - logical low at "gate in tip" causes the inverted setting of tip/shaft-
  and ring/shaft connections.
 - inserting a cable to "Gate in ring" causes a separate control for the
  ring/shaft conection of "Switched socket out".
-------------------------------------------------
Possible addon:

 - real switches (reed-relais) instead of transistor switching for
  the "Switched out socket"
