Doepfer

Hallo there,

My first post is a rather new modular user is about the A160-2. 
Just started to make a nice case filled with Doepfer modules. 
Still assembling....

Why is the 160-2 producing a high pulse on reset at all the outputs?

I cant get a good reset with sequencers i.e. system gets out of sync. 

What is wrong or what am I doing wrong?

Cheers

I suppose that this was programmed intentionally by Christian. Please contact him directly (Christian Assall, software@doepfer.de).
He programmed the A-160-2 firmware. I think it has to do with the discussion we had during the A-154 development, i.e. if a reset
signal should immediately generate the reset state or if the next incoming clock signal after the reset should trigger the reset
state. As there are still 2 unused jumpers left maybe Christian can modify the firmware so that the user can select the reset
behaviour.

Hello Dieter,

Thanks for your fast reply. 
I (think) I  understand, I also bought the A155/154 set twice and that works very well with resets when testing. 
I will contact Christian about this "problem". 
Hopefully there will be an fix. 

Thanks again,

Christian told me that the module works as described on the info page. A reset sets all outputs to zero (in non-inverted mode) but
the next clock signal turns all outputs to high (in non-inverted mode). Please refer to the diagram on the A-160-2 info page. If you
want that all outputs turn to low with the next clock signal you have to choose the inverted mode (lower diagram on the A-160-2 info
page). Pay attention that you can also select the clock polarity, reset behaviour (level or edge) and reset polarity.

Gutemorgen Dieter,

Thank you again for sending me in the right direction. ...still learning...everyday
