MFOS 16 Step sequencer with YuSynth Modular Gate Issues

[OW]

Hi,

So I'm having a problem using the gate switches on my MFOS 16 step sequencer when using the Yusynth ADSR v.2. When I turn a gate pulse off on the sequencer the ADSR still sends out a gate pulse, which sometimes sounds slightly different then when the gate switch is on. I know the sequencer works as I have used it with other modulars.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Thanks!

Check the GATE voltage provided by the sequencer and make sure that <hen OFF the output level is under 1V. The ADSR module contains a schmitt trigger that has a low threshold therefore if the GATE is not 0V it may trig the ADSR.
Otherwise check that the ground of the sequencer is connected to the ground of the ADSR.

Thanks for the reply.

Since the ADSR and sequencer are two separate units they don't share a common ground.

Is it possible to add something to the gate in on the ADSR as to reduce the gate pulse in order to solve the problem?

Thanks again!

By common ground I mean that there 0V should be connected together (shield of jacks)

So could I run a banana jack from the sequencer ground to the ADSR ground?

Thanks again!

Yes . It is highly recommended !

Hey,

So I tried running a wire from the sequencer ground to the ADSR ground and still no luck. I have the ADSR wired up to the long version.

Any other ideas?

Can you measure the voltage of GATE output of your sequencer when ON and OFF ?
