Doepfer

hello ingo,

i checked the manual and found that i was wrong
in my previous post. whenever a cord is patched
to the L+ and/or L- inputs, the corresponding pots
will be disabled, so they have no effect anymore.

i couldn't check the module itself yesterday, but i
hope that i find the time tonight or tomorrow night.

best wishes

ingo
