1983 doepfer voice card [VMS], anyone has docs?

Hi.
I've bought 4 old doepfer cards.
[VMS = Voice Modular System]

Each card is indeed a synth based on CEMs, namely:
2x CEM3340
2x CEM3310
1x CEM3320
1x CEM3330

Along with the cards, there is a technical paper, written in german..
a bit difficult for me to translate.. but not impossible.. too much difficult is for me to understand how to connect a keyb..

And heres the question:
do anyone has connected this beast to a poly keyboard?

Thanks!

I've made some big steps..

Found and understood all the 64pins connections, and also the [onboard!] CV-in.

I've also scanned and half-translate the most important pages of the german docs.

Next step will be testing a single voice card..
If all OK, I'll continue with the making of the front panels.
