Re: Looking for help with my Trilogy

2006-03-20 by japito

Hello,

it's been another while that i bought my trilogy ...
i cannot help specifically answer yr question, 
but what i can say is that maybe you just have to open yr
crumar & tweak the pots prudently/carefully ... it was like this 
that i discoverd one could tweak the maximum time of the attack & 
release of the envelope ... indeed !!!
right underneath the waveform selection , you have this pcboard
with some tweakable pots with numbers next to it: 

2 = length of the release parameter 
& 
14 = length of the attack parameter 

all the way on the rightside you have this 4 pots :

X1 X2
O1 X4

O1 = pitch
X1 & X2 make yr sound rawer ! some kind of ringmodulation effect

ciao ciao
