I'm completely new into modular synths ... until I bought a new
prebuild A-100 BS2 (thus with the A-190 midi module) a few days ago :-
)
Although it took some time to find my way around, I have been able to
construct some own patches with decent results.
But now I wanted to use the A-160 in combination with the A-161 for
the first time.
For one reason or the other, I seem not to be able to get anything
out of these two modules.
So I'm starting to think that the A-160 module is broken or wrongly
connected inside the enclosure.
When I plug in a LFO (square) into the trig-input of the A-160, are
the LEDS of that unit not supposed to start blinking at several
different rates, depending on the clock division
In my case nothing blinks, although the LFO is doing it's job
(checked that by plugging that LFO into the gate input of an ADSR).
When I connect one of the sub-divisions, for example /4 into the gate
of an ADSR, that gate is not triggered, so obviously nothing is
coming out of that /4 output (led also not blinking).
Is also the A-161 not supposed to start "running" through the 8 steps
(so leds blinking in sequence) when the A-160 is triggered
I also tried plugging the A-118 random out into the trig of the A-160
and also the gate-out of the A-190 midi module.
Nothing seems to be able to trigger that A-160.
By the way, is it possible to try out the A-161 without the A-160
As far as I understand, this is not possible since it needs it's
clock input from the A-160
Since I have nothing to compare with, I'm not sure what I should
expect. Maybe I'm doing something completely wrong, but after reading
the modules manual several times I have the impression that there is
definitely something wrong with that A-160 module.
Can someone give me some advise on this
