Yves,

I built one of these for a fellow over on Muffwiggler's and we're trying to fix the bleedthrough issue. He forwarded me some instructions you gave him, quoted here:

"The cure is to replace the resonance potentiometer by a dual gang model. Connecting the CW lugs in parallel, the CCW lugs in parallel, and one wiper lug connected to the normal resonance circuit while the other wiper lug connected to the R43 resistor."


I am unclear on one thing - when you say 'connect to R43' do you mean in place of R43, or to its input leg, or to its output leg? Thank you!

I think you're just replacing the T-connection on the schematic..so looking at the schematic, remove the T and tie the left side of R43 to the other wiper.

Ok I am back home.

I mean "connect to" not "replace", this means unsolder the left leg of R43, solder a wire this leg and connect this wire to the wiper lug of the second potentiometer of the dual-gang pot.

Perfect. Thanks for the clarification! Thanks to dstrength for the help too. I'm out of town on business right now but I will assemble the module next week and report back. Very Happy

This seems to do the trick. It absolutely kills the bleedthrough and seems to leave the low end intact at high resonance. The resonance control response is altered slightly - self-osc seems to come in differently - but it's neither more- or less-usable... just different. It still sings beautifully in self-oscillation and tracks my entire 5-octave keyboard. Very Happy

Thanks again.

Fine then, I will add a note at my site.

Hi:
I did the fix and now the bleedthrough is gone.
Thank you Yves!!!

Hi Guys...

I think I have the 'Bleedthrough' issue and just wanted to confim the symptoms with someone before I try this fix.

When I set the frequency to 0 and increase the reasonance, i can still hear the waveform slightly. Is this bleedthrough? (The answer seems obvious when i put it like this but I just want clarification before i start making a mess of my board.)

Thanks.

viewing your drawings cw(3/6) will go on the right side and ccw(1/4) will go on the left

hello Yves,
can you please further explain your statement ?

"The cure is to replace the resonance potentiometer by a dual gang model. Connecting the CW lugs in parallel, the CCW lugs in parallel, and one wiper lug connected to the normal resonance circuit while the other wiper lug connected to the R43 resistor."


what's the " normal resonance circuit " the second wiper lug has to be connected to?

thanks

sorry Yves,
i've been trying to get my head around that diagram, but no, i can't seem to figure it out. CW and CWW are clear.
However, two wires are attached to the wiper. One goes to the R43 (the yellow one).
What about the blue wire (wiper). Where does it connect to the real circuit?

thanks ! scratch

thanks Yves,

so, one wire from the wiper goes to the unsoldered left leg of R43.
And the second wire from the wiper goes to the point i circled in red, so that it closes the circuit ,right? Embarassed Embarassed
excuse the dumb questions, i hope i got it right this time ! Smile

Yves,
can you please get me the ARP 4072 schematics you originally drew ? i mean the schematics before the dual pot modification.
many thanks!
