RE: [Doepfer_a100] Troubleshooting lack of power on LC9

That’s a great page – thanks. I’m now totally confident that I’m not over-loaded, as I’m nowhere near 1200mA on either 12V rail. Best wishes. Tim Burgess From: Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.com] Sent: 13 February 2018 12:08 To: Doepfer_a100@yahoogr

Hi, That’s very reassuring – thanks. A pack of 10 fuses arrived today and my wife has already re-seated my ribbon cables (a couple had definitely worked loose with all the moving around I’ve been doing). I’ll get a fuse in later today and keep my fingers crossed that it’s as simp

PSU 2 is the older supply, it’s definitely 1200 ma -12v, 1200 +12v, if you add a 5v adapter that takes some from the positive, depending on load. The current draw you listed should be well within limits. Get a few of those glass slow blow fuses, I was in a similar position a few

2018-02-02 by Martin Klang

Hi Del, the specs are per rail, you don't add the currents for different voltages. It's fine to load +12V and -12V to 200mA each, simultaneously. In order to get the total power consumption you must first convert from current to power, ie 200mA @ 12V = 2.4W, 200mA @ -12V = 2.4W,

Hello, each of the four VCAs is equipped with a 47k input resistor (R1, R12, R23, R34). If you increase the values of these resistors (or add a trimming potentiometer to each resistor) the input signal is attenuated. You find the position of the resistors in the attached picture.

I find it is necessary to greatly attenuate a VCO output (say the sine wave from a A-111-1) to prevent distortion. I have adjusted the trimmers to get a full range sweep for an ADSR. Is there an input resistor that could be changed to remove the need for 2 x A-183-1 dual attenuat
