Subject: TimeMachine working!!

From: revtor@...

All,
I finished my TimeMachine conversion last night, proud to report that it
works and no problems have arisen. Wow what a sound mangler this is!!
I have a few questions though for other TM owners.. I do not have a
frequency counter. How vital are the settings of the two trimpots that
require the counter? Is there some way to get close with my DMM or by
listening to it while tweaking? Also, I had my 320 patched into the "delay"
cv input. yes the 320 is+/-5v and the TM says that this input takes from
0-7.5v I hadnt read this until after my little problem arose. Patching them
together led to my delay not making any more delayed signal until I powered
it down and up again. It worked for a second or two then as the 320 reached
a certain level the TM "thumped" and no more delayed signal. but upon
turning it off and on again, it worked fine... Im assuming this has to do
with the bipolar nature of the 320? Just wondering if this is normal, and
wanting confirmation that everything is A-OK!!!!

Thanks for any replies! My darkstar is next!!!
