hi florian,
it's true that the analogue systems vu-meter costs
about 150 euros(99 GBP).this module,also, has a
built-in inverter.but i think that doepfer might make
one that costs less(100 euros ).ok,i know that you can
buy one in the shops for 20 euros,but,again,it won't
be a beautiful part of the doepfer a100.so,that's why
i want a doepfer one.it's easy to use,ready made with
mini-jacks and looks like the rest of my a100...
my opinion,anyway...
bakis.
