This way, you have the sample amplitude profile as the source sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s ok to plug mixer output of the 100M into the Doepfer, but the CVs may have different ranges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like we did with the 100, we can set up an old school patch on the Doepfer.
