The A110 Module Question made me think that it would help A100 users
to compile a comprehensive list of known module inconsistencies,
deviations from the documentation, and other quirks. I invite all to
add to the list, or correct what's here.

A110 and A111 VCOs:

The A110 and A111 footage selector switchs extend and operate past the
marked detent positions, in both directions.

The A110 is one octave higher than the A111, when both are at the same
footage setting.

The A110's tuning knob is zeroed when fully counterclockwise. The
A111's tuning knob is zeroed at the center position.

The A110's CV1 socket is normalled to the system bus - the bus
connection is broken when a patch cable is inserted. The A111's CV1
socket is mixed with the int.cv signal from the system bus - the bus
connection is NOT broken when a patch cable is inserted.


A120 and A121 VCFs:

The A120's CV2 and CV3 attenuators go from zero to unity gain. The
A121's CV2 attenuator only goes to about .5 gain. For this reason, and
because it has no CV3 socket, modulation routings to the A121 are
usually patched through an A138a mixer to the CV1 socket.

A140 and A141 ADSRs:

The A140's Gate socket is normalled to the system bus. The A141's Gate
socket is NOT normalled to the system bus.

The A140's envelope amplitude is significantly higher than the A141's
envelope amplitude. (someone please measure/verify this.)


A136 Distortion/Waveshaper:

The A136s amplification A knob operates backwards from what is
described in the User's Guide. Positive amplification increases as the
knob is turned counterclockwise past 5 (center), and negative
amplification increases when the knob is turned clockwise past 5.

The A136's positive +A and negative -A knob positions are not the same
as the amplification A knob positions, contrary to the User's Guide.
The scales are marked differently, and the +A and -A knobs operate
backwards from the amplification A knob. Positive amplification
increases as the knobs are turned clockwise past 0 (center), and
negative amplification increases when the knob is turned
counterclockwise past 0.

The A136 performs hard clipping at the maximum and minimum extents of
its clipping levels, in addition to its adjustable clipping. This
isn't documented in the User's Guide. Signal levels from Pitch CV and
LFO signals extend past this hard clipping level, so these should
normally be attenuated before patching to the A136 (unless you want
the hard clipping).
