Bakis,

I must be blind, or was looking at too many pictures, but I couldn't 
find the DIY page.  Do you have a link?  THanks.

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

I don't think it exists yet - some weeks back Dieter was talking 
about setting it up, but I'm not aware that it has happened yet. 
Maybe this thread will precipitate its arrival! I'll be interested to 
see what they come up with for modifying a 138 - a quick look 
suggests to me that it will require cutting a track _underneath_ one 
of the jack sockets (i.e. not a 5 minute job!).

would it be unreasonable to ask to just add this to the a138 line-up?   maybe 
an 'a138c' or something for a few euros more..(??)   features like this really 
make a difference when your talking about a bread-n-butter module such as 
the 138.    

a dual offset module w CV offset  and voltage thru would be fantastic though, 
IMHO.   could be another excellent companion for 155 (or 156, or tkb, or 190, 
or 198, or 199, or 140, or..)
