Juergen? Still no time?
Thx for your reply.

By the way: I looked back into some lists including the AH board but found
nothing about the Chorus : does the ON/OFF switch arm the chorus without the
LFOs modulation?

> 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?
