AW: [Doepfer_a100] A-126 Malfunction

As already mentioned in the other email the A-126 is a very complex circuit.
But if the up shift is working there is some chance that only the adder for
the down shifting is faulty. It's built around the TL084 between the two
ring modulators MC1496. If replacing the TL084 does not help one has to
track the circuit with an oscilloscope to find out what's wrong. Maybe the
trimming potentiometer for the down adjustment is broken.

Best wishes
