Re: Super Psycho Modulator

LA is connected to the anode (+) of the led and LC to the cathode(-) of the led. seems right. My SPDT switch is connected OF to top, CO to middle and LF to bottom of the switch. that seems right too.

do i have to connect the GND next to the OUT to the ground since I'm using banana sockets?

A buzz in your fingers? that is worrying. Either you have very sensitive fingers, or there is something seriously wrong with your power supply.

Are the LEDs in backwards?

Do you have a common 0V between this module and the rest of your synth?

Hi Ken,


thanks for your speedy reply.

here is the pic… of the board and the wiring…

yes i was aware of not needing a cable for the 0v part but since it doesn't work, i thought it might be some grounding issues.

No doubt a construction error, but your description does not give enough info. Try posting or emailing me a photo. You do not need a link between the 0V holes above the 100uF caps - that is a point where you can access 0V in case you need to wire something to it. The link will not hurt anything though.

Hi,

I need some help in getting the SPM to work..
I've soldered up all the components and pots and the links and even added a link at the 0v above the 100uf caps.
When I power up the unit, the leds don't blink and unless I touch one side of the cable linking to the led, on the end of the led, the led lights up but it doesn't blink.
I'm using yellow leds for the individual oscillator. And I've connect a orange led to the LED driver section and LD driver to the output of the banana jack that i'm using.

I'm using MOTM power distribution board from CGS and only +15v, 0v, 0v, -15v is connected.

I can't figure out where i went wrong. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

best

Dennis
