SDS-IV update and advice

2004-07-24 by jesper

Hi guys!

Will probably fix the necessary IC this week, all things points towards a
broken 3086 and one of those will cost me about a dollar! :)

A few more things. The pitch pedal input is a mono jack that is split in two
on the circuit board with one wire going to each channel. My pitch input
jack has been removed some time in history so I will replace it since all
the necessay wires are there, but I think that I might get a stereo plug
instead and wire the two inputs to different channels. A fully reversable
modification and it feels justified since I miss the jack anyway...

What do you think?

I went over woodwork and panel with petrol today to clean of stains and
remnants of paint that was stuck to the wood... Looks a lot nicer now!

How do you guys trigger it? Pads? Trig mics? Audio out from a drum machine?
Voltage from a midi converter?
THere are both mic in and pad in so I wonder how you guys do it. Want to
find the best solution and sort out all these other pedal inputs...
