Subject: Dark Clouds Overhead

Well, now I've done it. I've finally constucted my first moudle that I have
some sort of problem with right off the bat :~( Module #17 in my system) A
110-VCA that seemed to be calibrating OK, but when it gets to calibrating
the Y axis in the same fashion as the X axis, the Y trimmer makes no change
in the voltage I am supposed to be measuring at the ring-mod out jack. I was
suprised by this and plugged a 300 VCO tri wave into it with an sine 320 lfo
modulating the CV input. The sound was kind of happening when all of the
sudden there is this crazy "squirt " zipper type sound and the audio cuts
out for a minute... then comes back in. The whole time the audio is in it
sounds kind of distorted for a 300 tri wave. Where do I look first? The ring
mod portion does not make ring mod sounds in any way right now. I tested
that section after the VCA. There do not appear to be any messy assembly
spots or poorly soldered joints and the coax looks fine, but this can
sometimes be deceiving. HELP if you can make any sense of this,

Thomas White
