1. Introduction
Module A-185 (Bus Access) enables the user to have
access
A-100. This is an active connection, with booster
amplification (see fig. 1), to maintain correct levels for
CV and gate signals, and to avoid the signal losses
and consequent problems that a simple passive linkup might cause.
The gate and CV inputs on the A-185 are used to
patch external gate and/or CV signals into the
A-100 system bus; while the internal system bus CV
and gate signals are available at the gate and CV
outputs of the A-185. Two LEDs provide a visual
indication of the signals.
