The output switch is identified on the website as an error. The 188-2 outputs always have some clock noise apparent; again this is flagged up on the website. Also check you have the attenuators set to the centre as they are polarisers. The 188-1 is cleaner if that's what you are

That's what the transistor inputs of the A-100 gate inputs do - although it's not exactly the same as a comparator. I.e. any positive voltage beyond ~ +3V is treated as "high". Best wishes Dieter Doepfer > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.com [mai

It's good that a lot of modules now have comparators on the inputs that trigger off pretty much any positive voltage. It's a luxury really but worth considering for future Deopfer modules as well. > To: Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.com > From: Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.com > Date: Mon

Not sure either. It could be that the ground connection itself was loose as the rack itself just got shipped that week. Could be a combination of factors. Next time I expand/rearrange stuff I'll see if I can test whether that post itself needs to be fixed. I'm also glad to report

Module A-185-1 was designed in 1997 and at this time there were no other (or only a few) other module manufacturers on the market. The gate section of the A-185-1 is only a buffer (nothing but a so-called emitter follower) but does not increase the gate voltage. Rather the emitte

From the theory it should make no difference because each group with the four blade terminals is connected to the same signal (-12V, GND or +12V) because the four terminals of each group are shortened. I have no idea why wiring them identically solved the problem. Anyway - it's g

I do not own an A-185 so I cannot compare results. I know this doesn't explain the issue or fix it, but could you use one of the trigger row outputs of the A-155 to clock the Metropolis? If you already built a dedicated gate amp, I suppose this is no longer necessary. On Sunday,

Glad you got it working. Don't want to come across as rude but the most likely cause is not hardware but user error. Those groups of 4 spade terminals on the PSU are all connected to exactly the same point so the order you plug them in won't matter. It's significantly more likely

If I understand mains and the PSU2 correctly, the chassis is grounded to the ground prong on the power plug, while the electronics is "grounded" to the neutral prong. So each case would work separately, but not when combined. On Thursday, July 2, 2015, acgenerator@att.net [Doepfe
