Re: [Doepfer_a100] attenuators and vu-meters

2003-05-06 by Andreas Lindholm

Now I did that.. damn hit the button to fast thing.

To make it easier to understand what I am saying look at this
http://f3.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/ANy3Pgd9wYp_mJWdAvRRhZHn64_edIXVdwgMMXstl12r70E7WJfUD17YsmfoKQurCy5jDinSYNLPz-19/a137v2.gif

and picture it with any kind of VU meter on top. Without the bottom pots and
stuff wouldn't it be a bit empty? That's all, but perhaps there are things
to but in that I have missed(but they can perhaps be crammed in there too ;)
