Re: Offset module

2003-03-23 by Joe Buechler

Hi Andreas

I already have several gain modules - A119, A136, and A132 so I 
don't really need the amplification feature you proposed. If it's 
inexpensive to add, no problem. Include it as a poll feature.

I like the idea of a +/- offset knob, but one problem is that it would 
be difficult to zero the offset, e.g. if you wanted to use the module 
as a simple attenuator. I don't know how difficult it would be to put 
a center detent on the offset knob, none of the other Doepfer modules 
have detent knobs that I know of. Can anyone comment on that?
