Johannes,

Thanks for your detailed explantion. I initialy adjusted the
RESONANCE knob for 8V, unfortunately my max. resonance
frequency is about 16KHz in step "VCF fo adjustment", not
19 ~ 24KHz.

The "minimum value of the waveform" is 1.6V (On the scope,
not DVM), maybe I have to check the D/A offset on the input
of the DeMux ...


Cheers,

Andreas.
