"Doepfer A 160-5 Voltage Controlled Clock Multiplier / Ratcheting Controller pot wiring modification to allow adjustment of the incoming CV level. As standard the pot has no effect when an external CV is input which I found unuseful.This simple modification requires lifting R17 at one end and and rewiring the pot connections - the picture at the beginning and the one at the end clearly show how to do it. The lifted end of the resistor goes to the pot wiper, the 2 holes where the pot was wired to are connected with a link and the right side of the pot is wired to where the resistor was lifted from. The left side of the pot is attached to ground and not altered and the function of the pot as a manual control when no CV jack is inserted is unaltered. In the video I am using the darktime sequencer to create random ratcheted notes. These are very useful modules and as you see I have two of them.
Thinking up this mod is the sort of thing devout atheists do on boxing day as a form of therapy. Peace to all."
