Thanks for the advice. I'm trying to find where to get replacements for those Op amps for the A-199 i found the TL804CN but not sure where to get the LM386. Any idea what i need to replace in the A-165? Thanks Again Ricardo --- In Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.com, "therpocc" wrote: >

I agree if it sounds right to you then you dont need to worry about clock rate accuracy. It should also be pretty noticable if its clipping. But if you do need to adjust, and feel you need the tools to get it right then a multimeter is no good. Nor is an audio rate scope-realisti

You can always use the delay time to calculate the VCO frequency acurately ..but In general, the properties of the delay will tell you if the VCO freq is as it should be. Too fast(v.short delay)>>>>output drops Too slow>>>>>quality suffers As you're not in a factory and have plen

You need to divide clock by 32. You may try to feed the clock to clock divider module or use two audio-dividers in serie. If you do not have it or can't build it around CMOS 4024, 4020 or similar IC, you will not be able to do it with soundcard-based oscilloscope. --- In Doepfer_

yes, Ableton's midi timing is terrible. Can you send a click track to the gate / clock input on the Dark Time? That should give you much tighter sync. Plus, if you want it, groove! hth, /m On 3 Jun 2013, at 11:57, Jim Credland wrote: > Cheers Florian - I'll take it up with them.
