What does the trimpot on the A-198 ribbon module do? Actually, I'd like the bottom of the ribbon controller to be 0volts, but it isn't... so maybe the trimpot will help? Or what is it for? -- www.elanhickler.com

It is in the 'pressure cv' part of the circuit, for trimming that. Unfortunately therefore it won't help you with the main 'position cv' output from the ribbon. Tim

Should I mess with the trimpot for fun? On Thu, Mar 12, 2009 at 2:33 PM, Tim Stinchcombe <timothy@tstinchcombe.freeserve.co.uk> wrote: >> What does the trimpot on the A-198 ribbon module do?

Didn't you learn ANYTHING from your VCO tweaking exercise? Cheers, Adam-V --- In Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.com, Argitoth <argitoth@...> wrote:

Hey Adam-V, yes I did. I did learn.

nicholas_kent, SWEET idea! i never woulda thought of that actually, dam!
