NerdSeq, Behringer Model 15 and the offset switch

[visti]

Hey guys, I'm having quite a specific problem and I'm not sure I'm managing it in the right way.

I have a Behringer Model 15 semi-modular synth that I'm using for bass, but when I use the offset switch in the right position - which I understand it is for notes - C1 is not quite as low a pitch on the synth as I would actually like it to be. There's a finetune on the synth itself, but nothing to, like, offset it an entire octave lower or something like that.

My current workaround is setting the offset switch to the left, which leaves me plenty of headroom, although I have to start my other eurorack modules that want pitch at C5-C6-ish which just seems like it's not the way I should be doing things.

I understand that the offset is an actual hardware switch, so I can't actually just offset track one, but is there anything obvious that I'm missing here?

The thing is that the Behringer uses a different voltage for notes  (-5 / +5V) which doesn't match the common Eurorack Note range 0-10 Volt. ( I looked that up on forums as they are multiple discussions about that issue in general) 

You would need to add a precision adder/subtracter in between and subtract the needed volts if you don't want to use the switch. It is indeed a hardware switch which adds the voltage or not, not a software thing.

Oh, there's actually a software setting in their app that can switch from -5/+5v to 0-10, I remember seeing it while I was messing around with the settings. It doesn't seem to actually do a lot to alliviate the issue - But thanks a lot! I'll look into a precision adder!
