Re: [chromapolaris] strange VCA envelope behaviour

2013-02-20 by james meagher

From Paul:
That sounds like software rather than hardware--something corrupting a
variable in RAM, which gets reset when you reboot. If things like that
recur, it could be that there's a marginal bit in an EPROM, which could be
fixed by reprogramming them.

The aforementioned problem is recurring, and now happens very shortly after a reboot. Do you have a suspicion which EPROM could be the culprit given the parameters affected, or is it not so easy to isolate the issue?

Normally I'd poke around myself blindly until I started to figure it out (and do so happily), but I'm so busy with other things right now I'd just love to get it fixed as quickly as possible so I can actually spend my 20 mins of daily free time playing the Chroma Polaris instead of trouble-shooting it.

If it's possible to purchase these EPROMs already programmed properly I'd happily shell out some dough to get my baby fixed!

As always your advice is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
James
