...Hello!
I finished my first yusynth module, ADSR v2. I thought it was working right, watched it on my scope, the levels were right, the inverted out also good... I swapped the led and d5 so my led works ok. I added the DPDT switch for selecting between short and long times. Switch also works ok. I tested everything with the GATE push to make button... Now, i connect it to my MIDICV 628 and a problem appeared. A weird one i think... I trigger the ADSR with 628's gate which is 5V. The problem is, when i keep the key pressed, the level won't go down to the sustain level. It'll stay at max. The weird thing is, this happens with ATTACK pot at around 70% or less. If i put it to over 70% like, 7secs or more, it works ok! Tried with the short option too, and it's the same at the same position of the pot. When 70% or less, decay and sustain doesn't work... RELEASE always works.. I checked the resistors around GATE input(R6, R3, R4, R5), diodes polarity is ok, caps are ok too, also checked the resistors near attack and sustain pots... I don't know where else to look or measure? What it confuses me is that it works fine with the GATE button... but with GATE jack, and at a certain amount of ATTACK, DECAY and SUSTAIN just doesn't work...
Thanks in advance

Does the problem still occur if you run a 1Meg resistor parallel with R6? It's a quick test that you can do with alligator clips.

Hey, i think that fixed it. Tried various combinations and it works as it should. So i'll add that resistor right now.
Thank you very much!
