hello,
there are two special cables(one for cv and the other
for gates) with which you connect the upper and lower
bus boards, so they share the same cv and gate
signals. this way your a185 will distribute the cv and
gate signals received in its inputs, to both bus
boards.
look at the doepfer website(in technical details, i
think)to see how this cable is connected.
regards,
bakis
