Frequently Asked Questions

It's fairly linear, responding well to 0-5V, but beyond that the multiplication factor can become unpredictable; gentle modulation is key.
Yes, the output signal is robust and should easily trigger most Eurorack modules, though very sensitive ones might benefit from a signal attenuator.
While simpler, it's a cost-effective solution; modern options offer more outputs and features, but the A-160-5 excels in reliable, basic multiplication.
