Okay, basic set up looks good. Try the following settings: On the A-140 put the
switch in the 'M' position, Attack 0, Decay 5, Sustain 3, Release 3. On the
A-131 Gain 3, In 10, Out 10.


Also make sure that the 'Range' knob of the A-110 sits somewhere in the middle
region. Perhaps also use another A-110. You can also insert your output cable
directly into one of the waveform outputs of the A-110 to test whether you get
any audio at all.


As for your conncetion to the soundcard I can't really help you there. I assume
you have tested it with other audio devices so you are sure it works. Try
inserting a headphone into the VCA to check whether you can get some sound but
watch those levels, the A-100 output is very hot.


And don't despair, having a modular and wondering why there's no sound go hand
in hand.

Thank you for the fast reply, York!

this is how I patched it:
CV -> A-110 CV1 -> A131 Audio In
Gate -> A-140 Gate ->A131 CV1

I can see the envelope generator module LED lighting up when I press on a MIDI
key, but still no sound.

For the output, I tried to use a patch lead and a 1/4" adaptor to plug it in the
soundcard. Nothing. So I then use an audio cable and used another adaptor to be
able to plug it in the output of the VCA. Nothing.

What am I missing ! !…

thank you anyway!

Best
Sophie
