Just installed the A-190-3 and when I try to connect to the computer via USB I get an error 43 code saying device is possibly faulty. Does it need a driver or not? The Dark Time manual says no driver is required.  Any body any ideas please?

Do other devices work OK in that USB socket on your computer?  I'm pretty sure it shouldn't need a driver.  (At any rate, mine doesn't, but I'm on OS X so it may be different in that.)

Please contact the programmer of the A-190-3 firmware (Christian Assall,
software@doepfer.de). I'm sure he is able to help you. As he is on holidays
from next week I'd recommend to hurry :-)

Dear members,

we discovered that our manufacturer made a mistake during the last series of
the A-190-3 production. The USB interface of the modules were not tested
correctly. If your A-190-3 is not recognized by the computer you received
probably one of these faulty modules. Modules with these test labels are
affected:

J.K. 11.11
I.12 K.Ste.
II.12 M.Stej

The Midi interfaces of these modules work as they should. Only the USB
interface is affected (because two capacitors have been assembled in the
wrong way).

Please return the module to the dealer where your purchased it for free
replacement and free shipping charges.

Please accept my apologies for this fault. Maybe we will have to check more
control samples in the future.

Best wishes
