Re: [Doepfer_a100] Can I mod a A-152 to do this?

2013-02-06 by charles kerr

Hi James,

I'd be interested to see your expansion circuit if possible, sounds like a cool addition to the 152! Would it be possible to email it to me or drop it into the file box?

Thanks,

Charlie

      Forgot - no attachments in this forum! basically The thing I attached was a transistor circuit (2N5088) and some resistors and a LED to drive the output jack. It should isolate the processor fine. I will attach it to the expansion header so no mods to the board itself. That is why I asked about what else is on that header. Might as well bring out whatever I can since I will be making a panel for it.
