Re: Controlling Doepfer with Roland SH-101

2006-07-17 by beatboxgestapo

No, it not the gain. I tried it with the gain turned down to "1" and 
I still got it. If I press a key that note will sound until another 
key is pressed, then it plays that note forever. 

As for the 606 and SH-101. I have linked them up before, and no 
problems. I'm starting to think something in the 101 is bad. 
Something having to do with the cv/gate out and the external clock in.
Maybe there is a common chip that controls both of them.

Thanks for your help!
