too many volts on the a132-3?

too many volts on the a132-3?

2010-02-08 by Greg Cerveny

Hello all,

I had my orb sequencer gating @ + 12v into an a142 into an a132-3.
Now the top vca is not responding consistently to cv signals.  The
gain works fine. The bottom vca works fine.  I see the 132-2 accepts
-8 to +8.  Did I put too much voltage into it?

or, maybe, you sent too many volts into the trigger input of the 142... and the decay envelope has a problem now...?

does the top vca of the 132-3 work fine with other cv sources, apart from the 142?

the 132-3 vca's accept up to +/- 8 volts without distortion, in the audio input, that does not mean that if the audio signal is higher the vca's will be destroyed....

btw, why would you have your ORB send a +12 volts gate, anyway?
are you triggering Roland envelopes from it, as well?

The orb defaults to a 12v trigger. I need see if I can adjust it.

Oy... I'm an idiot.  When trying out other envelopes, I realized that it was
the cv attenuator that was the problem.  I gave it 100 rotates and now it's
working.

p.s. thanks for the help in working it out! :)
