6. Appendix

Module A-185 has two internal jumpers on its circuit
board, which are factory-set to send external CV and
gate signals
to the system bus (see fig. 1).

By re-aligning these jumpers, you can convert the
A-185 so that it doesn’t take gate and CV signals from
the input sockets, but simply ‘reads’ them from the
system bus, and sends them out to the front panel CV
and gate output sockets. In this “read-only” mode, the
input sockets are disconnected from the system bus
(see fig. 3).

fig. 3: example of “read-only” mode with CVs

In practice, there aren’t admittedly going to be a lot of
occasions when this is required, so we won’t go into
any more detail here.

As delivered from the factory, the jumpers
are set so that the module sends CV and
gate signals to the system bus.
