Hi all,

I have a new A--112 Sampler that I'm having trouble with and although 
I think its probably faulty I thought that I'd see whether any other 
users have experienced the issue I'm experiencing.

I have a TR-606 plugged into the audio input and the audio output is 
plugged into a mixer. I have the top switch set to S1 (bank 1), the 
second switch set to 'REC' (record)  and the third switch set 
to 'Normal' (centre position). I can monitor the output of the 606 
through the module with these settings and if I adjust the 'tune' pot 
it audibly alters the sampling frequency as one would expect. I then 
press the 'trig' button for a second to sample some of the 606 
output. The LED lights as one would expect. Then if I switch the 
second switch from 'REC' to 'PLAY' and press the 'trig' button again 
to listen to my sample I hear nothing but a loud click.  

I've tried gating the module with a Wiard joystick instead of using 
the trigger button, I've tried a different audio source, applied CV 
to the pitch CV in, changed all the switches and generally tried 
every permutation of possible permutations to get some noise out of 
the thing. The only noise that emanates is some strage noise that 
sometimes appears in 'REC' mode when nothing is plugged into the 
audio input.

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I'd be most appreciative.

Cheers

Simon

At first sight everything seems to be OK - except the correct
recording/playback. Pay attention that the modules records only while the
gate button is held down. I'd recommend to hold the button until the LED
turns off. Pay attention also that the audio input level is sufficient
(overload LED should light up now and then). To test the module you could
record e.g. the sawtooth output of a VCO. If all this does not help the
module has to be sent in for service.

Best wishes
