Thanks for the reply. Yes, you're right. The Doepfer plug itself is
not keyed, so it's possible that I plugged it into the socket
incorrectly. I did, however, plug it into the Doepfer socket using a
Doepfer plug. Just for the record, I didn't use an AS connector on the
Doepfer module and plug it into an AS socket. This was Doepfer to
Doepfer.

Perhaps I plugged the cable in backward. Would that cause the module
to blow Would it be safe to reverse the plug and see if that works,
or would that just be asking for trouble

Thanks again.
