I have a A-185 in each of my cases (four of them) and the internal buses are linked so both rows get fed. I don't have any modules talking to the bus directly because you never want to have two sources using the bus at the same time. I plug the A-190 into the A-185's input when I want it to drive the VCOs/EGs in that case and use the front panel outsputs on the A-185 to connect to the other cabinet buses. This way you never accidently provide two sources of CVs or Gates to the internal bus. It has more flexibility when you need it otherwise if you connect the A-190 to the bus directly -you CAN'T input anything else to the bus. The best thing is if you have a A-185 in a cabinet don't connect any other output to the bus (don't feed the bus with any other module). Since the A-185 has front panel inputs and two outputs, it is designed to chain to others. The A-190 can plug from its front panel into a A-185, and that A-185 can plug into another in a different cabinet, and on to another etc. etc. In my rig I can drive all four cabinets easily with one A-190 if I wanted to. The A-185 is also good if you have VCOs or EGs that you haven't modified to connect to the bus. The two front panel outputs on the A-185 act as a buffered Y-cord. I have two AS VCOs I haven't modifies yet and always connect to them this way.

There are VERY few modules that connect to this bus which is very disappointing. Almost all Synthwerks products have internal jumpers to allow this.

Brilliant! If the signals come out of the 190 into both the bus and the front at the same time, and you only have two oscillators in that first case, then yes, you'll only need an 185 in the second case, the first is already fine. Excellent! ^.^
