AW: AW: [Doepfer_a100] A-148 behaving erratically

The old A-148 should be able to process signals in the -8V...+8V range.
Otherwise the module is faulty and has to be repaired (probably one or more
of the integrated circuits is defective, maybe the CD4053 - but that's only
a guess).

Best wishes
Dieter Doepfer
