1)  Why not have more than just 1 pair of CV/Gate on the back plane? 
Why not  have say, four pair per backplane? The various pairs could 
be selectable  using jumpers on the backplane at each ribbon connect. 
This was a naive  question which reflected one of my first 
observations after purchasing my  A-100. Since then I have concluded 
(correctly? don't know) there is simply  no good reason.

2) Given my list of current modules, and a couple of  prospective 
paths, what might be a recommended way to get two voices in  stereo? 
Since asking this question, and discussing this with the folks at  
Analog Haven, it seems the Cwejman stereo mixer is probably the way 
to  go.

3) I'm finding what seems to be some frequency filtering going on  in 
mixer modules, and perhaps others. Has anyone else seen this? Has  
anyone looked at the frequency response of various Doepfer modules  
(other than filters)? Is there a known freq response spec published 
by  Doepfer? This one is still of interest to me and I am thinking 
about how  important it is and the degree to which it needs to be 
answered. Behind  this question is a desire to learn how to assess 
various modules and their  desireability. I caught myself spec-ing 
out spectrum analyzers online  today. That could lead to further 
questions for this group, as it's  possible that someone else has had 
the same interest. Perhaps a spectrum  analyzer is considered by many 
to be an essential part of their modular  setup! No idea. I guess 
probably not.





doug,
okay, lets see..................
1) busses - i suspect it has to do with physical space on the bussboards.  
even the one that comes along with set-up, however, is something i never use in  
my modular noodlings.
2) for stereo output, i use the a-134 panner with its inputs fed by 2  
a-138`s. perhaps not "true" stereo but easy to patch and much less expensive  than 
the cwejman mixer module.
3) i`d love a spectrum analyzer for its visual "geek appeal" and it is  
probably a better tool than a o-scope for seeing whats going on in some ways. i  
haven`t noticed excessive roll-off in non-filter modules i have from doepfer,  
tho. could, however, be a side effect of my simple monitoring set-up - i`m not  
missing it because i never heard it in the first place sort of thing but i 
seem  to get plenty of high end when i want it to my ears. then again, at 53, 
they are  older, more tired ears too.
best,
dave
