thanks for the reply.
this is all somewhat confusing. i confess i don't understand the
concepts at play here, but did have a chance to search for the
archives, and found some threads hinting that the bussboard module may
be necessary to do portamento effects. when i read the instructions to
the buss module it says it may be necessary to use it before the a171.
but again, somewhat indirectly.

i like the sound of the 171 alot so far, but of course need correct
pitch. ingo, did you have your a171 calibrated is it something i
could do myself it seems odd to buy a module and then have it calibrated.
