hi

I am new on this group, my first post.
I have a "basic system 2" (with midi) plus some other modules (in a 
second case) but my questions are about a VERY basic system - it is 
about the A110 VCA

1/ If I want to play just one straight note (whatever its shape) - no 
modulation, no nothing,no midi, no controllers, just a simple drone...
  I just take the output of A110 straight out (to a mixer->speaker)

All fine, except that the A110, for each octave only outputs pitches 
in between a (slightly high) A note up to a (slightly high) C#. No 
way to output a D D# E F F# G G#.......
normal??? I don't think so...  when it says about its range being of 
7 octaves or so, it should say  it is in HALF-octaves  - and when , 
about the "TUNE" control it is not "only about one octave" but less 
than half-octave

_____can you confirm or tell me what I am doing wrong


2/ok, if i plug a midi controller (keyboard) I can have all 12 notes 
of a scale. Nice. But then I can NOT tune the second VCO at an 
interval of a fifth (which is a very classic effect) Actually i can 
only tune the second VCO in a difference of +/- a small third (or 
rather as "big" second)

_____can you confirm or tell me what I am doing wrong



Ok, many thanks for any help, explaination or whatever

(it's not that I insist on having the "notes" or playing them "in 
tune". but a hole of more than a half-octave in all octaves is NOT a 
nice thing)

all the best
