AW: [Doepfer_a100] Re: Can't trigger A-140 from A-190-2

2011-02-04 by York Luethje

Hi Sidney,

 

Unfortunately I am not directly familiar with the A-190-2. In the manual
there is a diagram of the circuit board where a trim pot for the CV scale is
indicated. Trimming this might solve your tuning issue. As for the missing
gate I am at a loss tbh. It's quite possible that your unit is faulty. Did
you buy it from a dealer? I would contact the seller or Doepfer directly:
software(at)doepfer.de

 

Hope you get your module fixed.

 

York

Hello York. I am connecting my midi keyboard with a standard midi cable to
the midi input from A190-2 interface.

I also notice that the VCO doesn't make a tonal scale sound as I press notes
from the keyboard. For example, if I press a C3 then a C4 on the keyboard I
hear another interval instead of an octave. I kept the system turned on for
more than 20 minutes as I read it needs some time to make it get in tune.

Sidney
