I'd recommend the usage of an A-185 bus access module as the MS-404 has a
serial 1k protection resistor and inductor (because of EMC compliance / CE
sign) in it's CV output. By loading the output with 3 module (~ 100k each or
~33k altogether) there might occur a small voltage loss in the CV signal.
The A-185 has a high impedance input and includes a voltage buffer for CV
and consequently will avoid a voltage loss.

P.S. The MS-404 service manual is available on our web site (-> MANUALS ->
user's guides of older devices -> MS-404 user's guide -> MS-404 service
manual).
