Re: [Doepfer_a100] A111 troubles

2005-10-29 by Bakis Sirros

hello ernst, i think the solution to this is replace the hard sync socket? (or spare a patchcable and leave it connected...) i do not know, exactly. just wait for dieter's reply. i am sure he will explain why this happens. what about the sawtooth wave? bakis. --- achtung_999 wrot

Hey Bakis, If I keep a patchcord inserted in the hardsync it indeed behaves normal. But as soon as I unplug it the "PW feature" is back... Hmm... Was I right about the sawtooth wave? Greetings, Ernst

Hello everyone. This week I had a very profitable a100 second hand buy. Among all the goodies were two A111 VCOs. I have connected both and immediately found out they were both out of tune with each other and with my a110s. I also noticed on my oscilloscope that the sawtooth from

hello royce, i'll try to explain (dieter, please correct me if i'm wrong). basically the a171 is a dc-coupled lowpass filter, built around an ota chip. the circuit has to be calibrated to exact 1:1 amplification in order to maintain the exact signal level. usually this module is

Installing two PSUs in one cabinet may require a higher fuse. It all depends on what you're powering. The second unit itself will draw minimal current with no load on it. If nothing else make sure you don't use a fast slow fuse, the increased power-on serge from the two may take
