Hi all,

At last I have my case back.
The cause was unstable power.

So that evening I spend a couple
of hours putting the modules back.
But this time I have put them in new places
mostly. More logical.
That's only for the first case, which
was empty of course.
The rows in the first case have a
specific order: VCO-VCF-EG-Mixer-LFO.
I put the multiples in the right corners.
And I must say this works much better then
before.
It's easier to work with these "basic"
modules, patching has become more intuitive!

But of course when things go smooth, they mostly
go to smooth and yes two drawbacks appeared.

I placed my A190 in the third case (which is still
being filled) in the right upper corner. When
I had connected it and tried, I was suprised that
it didn't work! I thought how's that possible?
Then all of a sudden it came to me, damn this module
needs an additional 5v!!!
You understand, I don't want to put it in the first
case again, this is right place for it!
I fear I can't remove the 5v power from the first case
and put it in the third?!

Another, this time strange thing is followed. I have
my 7th oscillator in the third case. No, comes the strange
thing. It works, but not as it should be. I only get
very high frequenties. I can't even go through the whole
range up, cause when it reaches 3+ the sound totally dissapears!
However the sound becomes a little bit stronger when I go to -2.
But when I plug it into the A-176 the sound is normal
again???
I don't understand why this is possible.

Important to say is, that I first wrongly connect it too
the busboard! I plugged it and missed two din pins.
Is it possible that this short mis-connection has caused
this??? Isn't the module protected against this?

Anyone!

I placed a new order at Music House.

A127
A128
A145

I'm very much looking forward to work, especially with the
first two, but another LFO is also exciting cause for the
first time (with LFO's that is) I can experiment with mixing parallel
signals!

Then something really spectacular. 18th of october I gonna
participate in a workshop of sonologie in the basement of the Music House
shop in Utrecht, Netherlands. The teaching will be done
exclusively on a yes, yes Roland 700 modular!!!!!
No one less then Rob Hordijk, famous synth specialist is the teacher!
You can imagine that I'm looking forward to this date!

Cheers,

Roel
