PWM diagnostics

PWM diagnostics

2003-12-31 by ciscomanvann

I know this sounds stupid, but how can i tell if the PWM is working?
If it is not, where do I start looking to fix it?
Thanks!

Re: [PolySix] PWM diagnostics

2003-12-31 by The Old Crow

First thing to do is set VCO to PW and move the width knob from 0 to 10 
and back to 0 and listen to see if it changes accordingly.  Then set it to 
10 and change the VCO mode to PWM and move the PWM speed knob from 0 to 10 
slowly and note if the cyclic modulation is audible.

  If nothing is working then I would imagine either IC20 (LM13600) needs 
replaced, or the analog switch section IC1C died and IC1 needs replaced, 
or perhaps the control voltages off deMUX IC19 aren't getting there and 
IC19, IC12 or IC13 is to blame (least likely though).

  Use my schematic as it is much easier to read than the old service 
manual copy.  PWM circuit is on the far right, about 2/3 of the way down.  
It is marked "PWM MG":

  Hope this helps,

Nothing happens. It plays, but the width or pwm does not change. I 
have a multimeter, how do i check this stuff out? I dont know a whole 
lot about ICs.

On KLM-367 check the following:
* IC12 (TL072) pin1: must be -5V .. +5V according to PW/PWM poti
   if not, replace IC12
* IC13 (4558) pin1: must be -5V .. +5V according to PWM SPEED poti
   if not, replace IC13
* Set PWM SPEED to slowest and check IC1 (4066)/pin9: must change from
   minus to plus voltage and back (I dont know the exact values; will
   be at least -3V..+3V)
   if not, replace IC20 (LM13600) and/or IC15 (4558)
* IC1/pin6: must be +5V when WAVEFORM is at PWM position, otherwise 0V.
   if not, replace IC3 (LM339)
* IC1/pin8: must be the same as IC1/pin9 when WAVEFORM is at PWM
   position, if not replace IC1 (4066).
* TP1 (PW/PWM) near IC12: according to service manual "PW/PWM check
   and adjustment"
   if not OK, replace IC20 (LM13600) and/or IC15 (4558)

I hope this helps,

Johannes

Re: PWM diagnostics

2004-01-05 by ciscomanvann

Thanks so much!
 I will break out the meter tonight and let you know what I find. I
REALLY do appreciate it as while this synth arrived in pristine shape,
 I can only get a saw and basic square out of it. I really do want to
get the PWM fixed.
Thanks again!

Re: PWM diagnostics

2004-01-11 by ciscomanvann

OK, when I am looking at the IC how do i know which pin is pin 1? I
found one pin on IC12 that measures +/- 4.7 v but no pin that changes
on IC13. Hmm

Re: PWM diagnostics

Crow,
When are you going to add the section to your site titled, " Give Your
Polysix a Korg PS3100-style Triple Resonant Filter " ? Also, is it
possible to replace the 2044 with a 2040 filter? I know i am getting
ahead of myself since I can not get get my PWM working but I just cant
help it.

Re: [PolySix] Re: PWM diagnostics

2004-01-11 by The Old Crow

Hm, I still need to do that triple res. mod website.  Right after I do 
the 2nd VCO for Polysix site. ;)

  The 2040 is not a drop-in for the 2044.  A 2040 can be made to operate 
as a 2044 (the 2044 is a hardwired lowpass, the 2040 is just four filter 
'cells' than can be wired for other filter modes besides lowpass).  
However, 2040s are harder to find than 2044s.  I see 2044s on ebay all the 
time for reasonable prices.

Re: [PolySix] Re: PWM diagnostics

Hi,

How to determine the pin number of an IC:

e.g. DIL-8 case:


          8 7 6 5
         +|-|-|-|+
notch:  >       |
         +|-|-|-|+
          1 2 3 4
          ^
pin no. one

I hope this helps ...

Eh, i just like the sound of a 2040. Soooo, how about you mod my polysix to use 
2040's and make them bandpass, highpass and lowpass :-)

Well, if that is the case ic13 is craped out. Would that cause my synth to play when in 
PWM mode but not be able to change the PWM shape or speed?

Re: [PolySix] Re: PWM diagnostics

2004-01-13 by Johannes Hausensteiner

Yes. When you measure on pin1 there will be a certain voltage. The
PWM SPEED will be fixed at this point.
When you measure at IC13/pin3, does the voltage change according to
the PWM SPEED pot? If yes, replace IC13. If no, then IC19 (4051 analog
mux/demux) may be the reason.
Do you have access to an oscilloscope? This would speed up searching
for the defective component...

Re: PWM diagnostics

2004-01-16 by ciscomanvann

Eh,
I just checked pins 1 and 3 of ic13 and they both read 4.97 volts. I
thought they read different before but maybe i was doing something
wrong. Any ideas?
