[A6] Anyone tried this with an A6?

thanks Paul

am I right in thinking the Fat Controller doesn't seem to have a memory or a
way of storing presets externally? I'm also wondering about the Doepfer
MAQ16/3 too, whose functions appear more extensive... can you tell me in
practice what the lack of a gate input on the A6 means... does it mean I
can't change the note length from an external CV control?
