[motm] LFO troubles

2000-06-11 by skinny bastard

Okay, I was just using my new roland 180, after modifying it to work 
with MOTM's (thank you Charles Stella), and my LFO went out. When I say that 
it went out, here's what happened: a was doing just a basic patch, and was 
switching the patch cable from FM input on the 320 to the 420. I then was 
not satisfied with the sound, and so I went back to what I was doing before, 
only now, the LFO was not registering any envelopes. So what I was getting 
was the equivelant of CV going to the 1V/OCT input on the LFO. To make sure 
that it was just the LFO, I cranked up the res on the 420 to self-oscillate, 
patched the keyboard into it, and played it like an oscillator. Worked fine. 
Then, I turned off the system, turned it back on, and then the LFo wouldn't 
do a damned thing. The LED is stuck on green, if I crank the volume up real 
loud, I head some VERY bassy, noisy, random rumbling. This does not change 
at all if I modulate it with anything.
       It's worked fine for months, and then this happened a few hours ago. 
Anyone have any idea? I don't currently have a scope available or even a 
multimeter, so I can't check it out right now, but I was wondering if anyone 
possibly has had this problem before, or had any leads.
