...but dont forget my PSU post.. (now Help with Voltmeter...?)

2005-07-26 by markfrancombe

..as I suspected, my other and more pressing post is left cold and 
quite..

Im gonna stick it here again... vey bad form I know... but this list 
is a bit quiet, time to chat a bit guys...

Re: PSU's suggestions? (OLD THREAD)
As for having a voltmeter... well I DO have one, but to be honest, I
really don't know how to use it ha ha!!! (Yes... and I'm overhauling
a dusty old 70's synth!)Infact, due to the fact that it is now in
bits, I was wondering how I can test...
A) DId I fry the ADSR?
B) IN future how do I know if the ADSR (or any module) is working,
when I hook it up to the PSU.

The ADSR was a silly module to first hook up, cos it needs
connections to other modules to know if its working... (Idont have a
keyboard.. so I need to modify it so it will accept a gate signal,
not just the Formant Internal Keyboard trigger, from the Interface
board...)but from a sequencer (mobius for example).

But I DO want to know...specifically.. IS someone here powering their
formant from a 3rd party PSU, and is ANYONE useing the Blacet? (Or
know for DEFINATE that its OK) SOrry if Im being particularly obtuse,
but Im trying not to blow another module... (If indeed that is what I
have done)

Thanks

You Guys Rock my lame ass!!
