Re: Jupiter 4 calibration + BA662

2008-04-18 by eggwheatis

Quick update: Yep IC16 the BA662 is definitely bad so I need to source
 one or a BA6110 if I cant get them. The 6110 looks like it'll be ok
just has a different pinout.

Still looking into this 'voice' pre-set low volume problem..it's like
a fifth of the volume of the rest of the presets...the later module
boards had a trimmer fitted called VCF INV trimmer no. 31 that was
just to adjust the 'Voice' pre-set waveform..mine hasn't got it but
has the holes for a trimmer to be soldered in...maybe it's a factory
anomaly?

Oh yeh and Ive just found that the bender doesnt seem to work at all...
