Doepfer

Hi Colum,

Welcome to this world. 
Stopping the oscillator isn't possible. 

Use a VCA in your patch to attenuate the audio. 
Use your gate to trigger an envelope which in turn opens the VCA to let your audio pass when you send a midi note to your A190. 
There are plenty tutorials on this on YT. 

Good luck and nice noodling.

I use my midi keyboard (or ableton via USB) with the A-190-4.  My understanding is the A-190-4 is hardwired via the system bus to my two A-110 oscillators, and so when I press a key on the midi keyboard the midi signal is translated to a CV signal and sent to the oscillators.  This is all working great - I can play the keyboard and control pitch of the A-110 oscillators.  My issue is when I stop playing on the keyboard, the last note played continues to oscillate on the A-110.

I.e. the oscillator is only triggered when a key is pressed and when not pressed it is not generating a tone (like a hardwired synth with an integrated keyboard).
