One further wrinkle - and please forgive me for my ignorance here.

I can't get the A-190 to do anything at all - i.e. even the menu's are
inoperative.

My A-190, AD5 and oscillators normally live on my top rail, so I the,
to the lower rail.

The same problem occured - but only if I manually patched the CV1 out
to my oscillators. Normally, I'd take that to mean that the AD5 or
A-190 were dead.
So, just for information's sake:

1) Is the A-190/AD5 combination supposed to send gate and CV
information to both rails, or just the one they are attached to

2) If the AD5 was dead, would that result in a totally inoperative A-190

3) If the A-190 were dead, would that result in the oscillators on the
same rail receiving stupidly low CV information

Many thanks for your patience.
