altering envelope curves

2007-10-13 by Stu Grimshaw

while trying to approximate my favourite bass station sounds on the a100, i found the only thing i couldn't get near to was the adsr curves, which seem less exponential (vis a vis pitch perception) than the a140. does anyone have any tricks to flatten out the curve ? how are the

Re: a190 problems

2007-10-12 by Tim Stinchcombe

Hi Sam, Check that all the socketted ICs are well seated, especially the small 8-pin DIL at the top edge of the board, marked '24C16' - that is an EEPROM chip and very likely is where such information is stored when the power is off. (The square chip below it, 44 pins, is the pro

Hi, I have a 138-c too. I think there are two versions of this module, one with linear response (for CV) and one with log response (for audio). The CV feature only comes with the linear version and maybe that's the one you have. I'm not really sure about this but that would expla

I don't have an A-138c but according to the manual you have to remove the jumper to disable the offset functionality. So I'm confident that putting the jumper back on should restore this functionality. It's quite easy to put a jumper on (no soldering required), but you need to ge
