Re: [emax] EMax I -> No sound, but filter/ADSR and appegiator working! Sampler output makes very quiet blubb blubbs ... :-)

2010-02-26 by RJ Kaufman

Pretty bizarre that I just had the same problem, though my lack of  
sound was just caused by a slightly loose connection. The connector to  
the analog board is kind of difficult to attach.  I had to hold the  
board from underneath and press pretty hard to get it properly  
connected and I couldn't tell that it was loose when I first  
disconnected the board..
Other than that I don't have any suggestions. Sorry :(
