Hi all
This is especially for Juergen.
I've been happy to read a nice discovery you made about the differences between amount and speed modulation in the CS80, I refer to your message on the Analogue Heaven board of October 16th, 2003;

End of quote.
So what do you mean when you talk about the maximum number of pressure sensors involved with the Speed trigger of S-O? and what about the % of pressure that allows the trigger of the speed?
Thx fr your reply
