hi

hope i understand the issue.

the A-110-4 can " normalizing".

i use the cv-gate bus in all cases.

i have two A-110-4, a A-110-2 and a A-143-4 on a A-185-2.

e.g. when sending a sequence to this A-185-2, send the cv from front socket to a A-156

and back to the 1V/Oct front socket of the A-110-4's interrupts the bus CV from them.

but sending the signal from the A-156 to the A-110-2 or the A-143-4 adds the bus cv to them.

from the A-110-4 short instruction:

important note : Please remove the bus jumper ( JP3 "BUS CV") if no CV transmitter is installed on the same bus (e.g. a Midi/USB-to-CV interface A-190-x or a bus access module A-185-x). The A-110-4 applies a small voltage with high impedance (100k) to the CV line of the bus when the bus CV jumper is installed. This may affect other modules that pick-up CV from the bus (e.g. other VCOs). As soon as a CV transmitter is installed on the same bus the high impedance voltage of the A-110-4 is overwritten and no problem occurs !

Additional technical notes:

The control voltage applied to the socket 1V/Oct is added to the control voltage coming from the bus (interruptible by removing the jumper JP2) . Connecting a cable to the socket 1V/Oct does not interrupt the bus CV connection !

please see the .pdf

I have to say the second method is nice when those times come up when adding CVs is what you want but really is not a good solution for when you don’t want to do that. It means you have to pull the module out to turn it OFF instead of the much simpler act of inserting a jack. I’m a firm user of the CV/Gate bus and almost every cabinet I have has a A-185 Bis Access module in it. I often mix buss use and non buss use in one cabinet and the normalizing really makes this easy. I can see where in the VCO modules that have only one CV input that this is much more useful, but would suggest that the VCOs that have two CV ins, that the normalized signal go to the 1v/oct input (with a jumper) and the variable CV input be made to have a 1v/oct response when the pot is turned fully CW. Then the mixing action could still happen.
