Re: [oldsynths] Service question on Sequential Pro-One and WaveStation

2004-06-24 by Rory Mc Donald

Thanks for the input ;)
Yes I checked to make sure it was set to produce sound (I have a number 
of modulars) but I will check the output jacks and try the ext IN.
Seems like there is something fundementally wrong with the output, 
since I get nothing, but the GATE led lights when keys are pressed.
Also will check the PS feeds too.

Regards
Rory
