AW: [Doepfer_a100] Doepfer A132-3 Dual VC Bleed

Hello,

V2 is an older version from 2010. Due to tolerances of the V2164D sometimes
the VCA does not close with CV=0. To avoid this a high value resistor (e.g.
4M7) has to be added between pin 4 (upper VCA) or pin 5 (lower VCA) of the
V2164 and -12V. This adds a small negative voltage to the CV summing
node. -12V is available e.g. at pin 9 of the V2164 or the wire bridge "J1"
below the V2164.

In V3 and V4 of the module the 4M7 resistors have been added.

Hope this helps
Dieter Doepfer
