<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I am a happy owner of a modular synth consisting
of Doepfer and Analogue System modules and I thought I might try making some
modules myself. Being new to electronic DIY, (I did dabble early in my teens but
have forgotton all I had learnt), I have encountered what is a simple problem
and I'm sure to receive some interesting replies to this question. I have a VCF
circuit which uses a diode ladder consisting of 1N914s, question is this, which
end of the 1N914 is which?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>The diode has a thick black band at one end, is
this the cathode or the anode.</FONT></DIV>

a card!</FONT></DIV>
