After digging out the scope and checking voltage levels on
everything - the 190-2's were fine. It turned out to be
two A110's which are for some reason tuned an octave lower
than all my other A110's, ie same range and tune settings give
a tone 1 octave lower.
No idea how that has happened. These two A110's are a little
older than my others (probably 5-6 years old), but it doesnt
look to be drift as they exactly 1 octave out. The range switches
look OK, and stop at -2 in the normal way. Mmmm.
The three MIDI units are in separate racks, so the CV/gate is
not cross connected. I'm putting together a 3 note polysynth
with Doepfer units. Each voice has 3 oscillators, 2 filters,
2 ADSRs, 3 LFO's, mixers, ring mod, and various other bits.
