Upon further testing, it seems the envelopes are behaving as they should. Sent the voltage to the oscillators and but trig and gate modes do what they should. The problem is now narrowed at the vca...There is always raw audio present even at full clockwise ENV. modulation of the VCA. I'll post the fix when I find it. |

always double check your solder joints |

Been putting in some serious time with this machine and having a blast. Unfortunately, the AD2 issue is still happening but I've narrowed it down further.
When no gate source is introduced to the Gate In jack, the envelope acts as it should in all modes. Patching in a gate source (both my keyboard and sequencer) introduces the problem (again, when AD2 modulation of the VCA is full clockwise, it sounds as if a steady voltage is being applied to the modulation input, though the function of the envelope is also audible). The problem ONLY HAPPENS IN GATE MODE. Trigger mode works just as it should which, for the time being, has provided plenty of utility for super fun jams.
the gate selection switch and the gate/trigger switch are not faulty, the wiring is correct. I have yet to do a voltage comparison on AD2 between gate source/no gate source voltages, but maybe there is a spot that should be obvious that i start? still getting my feet wet with these sophisticated circuits. |

my immediate hunch is that i'm looking at Q16...when in trigger mode, Q16 is taken out of the equation and trigger mode works just fine. is this thinking too infantile? it seems like all it could be is Q16, D20, or a grounding issue. since AD1 works just fine, i suspect grounding to be fine. AD2 working properly when no gate source is patched makes me think that Q16 is probably fine as well. i don't see how anything wacky could be caused by D20.
sorry, not really expecting a response. just brain vomiting so its all in one place for future reference. |
