Hi There I just got a used AS SY02 filter (could not wait for Doepfer's own MS- 20 reincarnation ;)), and I am wondering how to connect it. The AS site gives some advise; it appears that on the AS modules the -12 V pin is located at the top side of the connector (in contrast with doepfer's own modules); so it seems to me that AS should connect "upside-down" compared to Doepfer. Anybody here with a clue ? regards Joost

hi joost, yes,the doepfer and a.sol. ribbon cables are the same, AFAIK.the red stripe goes to the word"stripe" or to -12volts.so,in most of the A.SOL. modules the ribbon connector goes with the red stripe up.if you look at the doepfer buss board and the SY02 pcb ,you will know how to connect the ribbon cable.the ribbon cable goes with the red stripe at the bottom in the doepfer board!(stripe to -12volts.) bakis. --- levka0 <levka@wish.net> wrote: > Hi There > I just got a used AS SY02 filter (could not wait for > Doepfer's own MS- > 20 reincarnation ;)), and I am wondering how to > connect it. > The AS site gives some advise; it appears that on > the AS modules the > -12 V pin is located at the top side of the > connector (in contrast > with doepfer's own modules); so it seems to me that > AS should > connect "upside-down" compared to Doepfer. > > Anybody here with a clue ? > > regards > Joost > > ===== Bakis Sirros Parallel Worlds / Polariton Athens-Greece [Doepfer_a100] group owner http://www.rubber.gr http://www.ward12.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Thanks Bakis for this info Sadly, the doepfer cable sockets do not fit into the AS module sockets (too wide), so I will need to order an AS cable first I will post again once I get it working regards Joost --- In Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.com, Bakis Sirros <synth_freak_2000@y...> wrote:

hi joost, what?the sy02 should have a doepfer connector in it's pcb.maybe you have got a sy02 with an Analogue Systems socket.the doepfer connector is the default one for A.SOL. modules.ask tom carpenter for this!if your used sy02 has an ANALOGUE SYSTEMS socket, you will need an "analogue systems to doepfer" converter cable. bakis. --- levka0 <levka@wish.net> wrote: > Thanks Bakis for this info > Sadly, the doepfer cable sockets do not fit into the > AS module > sockets (too wide), so I will need to order an AS > cable first > > I will post again once I get it working > > regards > Joost > > --- In Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.com, Bakis Sirros > <synth_freak_2000@y...> wrote: > > hi joost, > > yes,the doepfer and a.sol. ribbon cables are the > same, > > AFAIK.the red stripe goes to the word"stripe" or > to > > -12volts.so,in most of the A.SOL. modules the > ribbon > > connector goes with the red stripe up.if you look > at > > the doepfer buss board and the SY02 pcb ,you will > know > > how to connect the ribbon cable.the ribbon cable > goes > > with the red stripe at the bottom in the doepfer > > board!(stripe to -12volts.) > > bakis. > > > > > > > > --- levka0 <levka@w...> wrote: > > > Hi There > > > I just got a used AS SY02 filter (could not wait > for > > > Doepfer's own MS- > > > 20 reincarnation ;)), and I am wondering how to > > > connect it. > > > The AS site gives some advise; it appears that > on > > > the AS modules the > > > -12 V pin is located at the top side of the > > > connector (in contrast > > > with doepfer's own modules); so it seems to me > that > > > AS should > > > connect "upside-down" compared to Doepfer. > > > > > > Anybody here with a clue ? > > > > > > regards > > > Joost > > > > > > > > > > > > ===== > > Bakis Sirros > > Parallel Worlds / Polariton > > Athens-Greece > > [Doepfer_a100] group owner > > http://www.rubber.gr > > http://www.ward12.com > > > > __________________________________ > > Do you Yahoo!? > > Yahoo!

Dear Bakis, Thanks very much for this info ! I just invested an hour to create a temporary solution myself; This SY02 module sounds great ! It has the typical distorted, dirty MS sound (just compared it side by side to my MS-10). hats off to A. Sol. ! I have been able to get close to this sound by using two A-121's and a A-116 after the filters, but the flexibility of the SY02 (it has an integrated VCA) makes it a very nice module. Any way, I will buy Doepfer's 101 anyway when it gets available, but I am not sure when it's due. Regards Joost --- In Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.com, Bakis Sirros <synth_freak_2000@y...> wrote:
