I tested the supply. It is still good. The rest of my synth is
plugged into it as well, and it works.
It is possible that while I was messing w/ it on my desk, trying to
find the source of the hum that it touched a piece of metal and
shorted something out. There are several leads from resistors and
other components on the desk... one was definately under the filter
(not the entire time i was testing.. so the hum is unrelated)
If I did do something to fry the IC or a transistor or something,
would the IC still be getting hot now that the problem is corrected?
I checked the voltage. I checked that +, -, and ground are all
connected properly. I checked for any soldering mistakes, or any
other scrap of solder or anything I could have shorted something out.
The IC is still getting hot very quickly
