Got a bit of a problem with my new midi interface.  On power up, the 
midi interface gate LED is solid, and stays solid.  After reading the A-
190 manual again, it says the gate, reset and clock LEDs lite up only 
to midi activity.

Consequently, on power up a note is already being oscillated without 
any keys pressed.  As a key is pressed the pitch changes to the 
corresponding note, and when the key is depressed, the note continues 
to play/hang.

I would deeply appreciate any suggestions.  Thank you in advance.

You probably have to change the gate polarity.

The gate polarity is setup at positive.  Any other suggestions?

Hello!

What about a reset of the A-190 module? If you don't know how to: you
must switch the power off, push AND HOLD the four buttons of the A-190
(labeled "Group", "Menu", "Inc./+" and "Dec./-"), turn on the power
and LET THEM HOLD. The LEDs flashes about five seconds slow and then
again about five seconds fast. After then you can release the buttons.
Perhaps this could help...

Best wishes

Robert!

I'm also having a problem with the A-190 gate light coming on at 
startup and staying solid. This affects everything on the gate bus of 
my box.

I edited the gate polarity setting via MIDI program change and got 
nothing. I did a full reset and also got no response. This has happened 
with three different MIDI controllers, so I know it's the A-190. Does 
anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Mark

Please contact our A-190 specialist Matthias Marass (keyboards@doepfer.de).
He does all the final tests, adjustments and repairs of the A-190.
