Hi ps

Welcome to the group.

I tried your proposed setup - A185 bus access module patched to an
A180 multiples, and from there to three VCOs (de-normaled from the
system bus). It stayed in tune with a reference pitch. Without the
A185 it didn't work.

I also tried it with an A170 slew limiter patched in before the A185.
Same result, no pitch problems with the A185 driving the VCOs via the
multiples.

It looks like your plan will work.
