Okay, basic set up looks good. Try the following settings: On the A-140 put the 
switch in the 'M' position, Attack 0, Decay 5, Sustain 3, Release 3. On the 
A-131 Gain 3, In 10, Out 10. 


Also make sure that the 'Range' knob of the A-110 sits somewhere in the middle 
region. Perhaps also use another A-110. You can also insert your output cable 
directly into one of the waveform outputs of the A-110 to test whether you get 
any audio at all. 


As for your conncetion to the soundcard I can't really help you there. I assume 
you have tested it with other audio devices so you are sure it works. Try 
inserting a headphone into the VCA to check whether you can get some sound but 
watch those levels, the A-100 output is very hot. 


And don't despair, having a modular and wondering why there's no sound go hand 
in hand.

Thank you for the fast reply, York!

this is how I patched it:
CV -> A-110 CV1 -> A131 Audio In
Gate -> A-140 Gate ->A131 CV1

I can see the envelope generator module LED lighting up when I press on a MIDI 
key, but still no sound.

For the output, I tried to use a patch lead and a 1/4" adaptor to plug it in the 
soundcard. Nothing. So I then use an audio cable and used another adaptor to be 
able to plug it in the output of the VCA. Nothing.

What am I missing?!?!…

thank you anyway!

Best
Sophie
