Hi I was just wondering why my borg filter and waveform city have the same model number. Totally irrelevant I know but it did pique my curiousity. Both are screened as Model GR 342. Chris _________________________________________________________________ Watch the online reality s

That is a longish technical discussion. Zero is an important number in math because zero times anything is zero, so you can use it to shut modulation sources "off". There are two types of inputs traditionally used. One is a uni-polar that goes from zero to a positive value. This

Yes, the Blacet mixer processor will invert cv. As for Wiard, the Mixolator will also invert cv. On Jun 26, 2004, at 9:16 PM, Rob wrote: > Are there any? Maybe the Blacet Mixer-Processor? > > Thanks, > > Rob Adams > > > > > > > Yahoo! Groups Links > > > > >
