ah...

it's the same panel fitting, the only problem is you'll have to dismantle
your 181 to re-solder the keyboard end
i re-hooked up all the cv, gate & trigger connections, but i just use a
short length of 10A 3 core mains to power the keys, and patch direct from
the 1/4" jacks on the back

from re-wiring mine, it really looks like the 1/4", 1/8" & umbilical
connections are all tied together
i've never really noticed any drain, but then i'm still a couple of hours
away from getting my studio wired again after moving (it's that bit behind
the mixing desk that i hate - especially with a gammy leg / flightcase
injury)
only the cv would really matter, but with a modular that's all subjective
any, i never believe for one minute i could tune the whole thing and leave
it "tuned" for more than one session, something's *bound* to get moved
as for the gate, even after the resistor network mod, my 181 is still
pumping out 7.5V gates
by the way for the record, being the luddite that i am, i was unsure whether
it was worth spending the dosh on a 181 when i have a couple of perfectly
good midi/cv converters and a midi keyboard...
...oh how wrong i was, the difference is amazing - even i can tell

cheers
