Re: PHENOL - Kompatiblität Eurorack?
kurz gesagt: das geht!

"Voltage Compatibility with Other Systems
Many people have asked about the compatibility between Phenol and other modular formats. As was stated above, Phenol uses the same voltage standards as the Kilpatrick Format modular system which will hopefully be adapted as an industry format within the coming years. It solves a number of existing problems with most modular systems both electrically and mechanically.
All CV and audio signals range from -5V to +5V. Pitch uses the industry standard 1V/octave.
Pulse and gate signals use 0V = off, and +5V = on. This is pretty much the standard on most systems. Phenol pulse/gate inputs will activate with voltages above about 1V.
Conversion to/from other cable types such as minijack (1/8" or 3.5mm) or 1/4" can be easily accomplished by making a small breakout box or just making cables that have a banana plug on one end and the other type of plug on the other end. The only important concern is that you must connect the ground of your other system to the front panel ground connection on Phenol before patching. You can use a minijack / banana cable plugged into an unused jack on your other system to ensure the ground is connected all the time. Phenol provides a dedicated ground jack for this purpose."
