Doug, it's not possible to control all 4 VCOs from the jacks on the 101 - it has been suggested here in older posts that the only that might be possible  is via the keyboard socket - so it's not just the 1.2v/oct issue (which can be got round with a Kenton or an old Korg MS-02). Matt

It has been a VERY long time (1970's) since I worked on a 101, but don't recall why there might be interface problems - not to say that there aren't any. (I was New Jersey EML sales & service back then)

Other than the 1.2 V/oct issue, is it just that the Doepfer is not triggering the 101? I'm pretty sure that could be fixed by adjusting some resistor values in the 101.
