hi andreas and jed,
do you have the a185 bus access module when you
connect the a190 thru the a185 to the two a110's must
stay pretty much in tune for some octaves...
also,jed,about the two a110's: i think it's normal to
have a slightly different pitch when the tune knobs of
both a110's are set to "0".this is the beauty of
vco's!
but with a decent midi-cv interface they should track
quite well.
about the a190:i have one for two years and use it
with no problems at all.(i have never done the
calibration process you're talking about...)
bakis.
