Re: not accessing bus with A-185-2 or A-164-1

2011-07-24 by E Karel

Hi,

Thanks.  But the jumper is in the correct position, and I was unclear: I'm trying to use it to send voltage to an A-111 (and the 164-1 to send gate to the A-140, both of which are on a different bus).  The A-185-2 and A-111 are on the same row/bus in a A-100P6 suitcase, but the A-111 doesn't notice the Adder at all.

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
Ernst

The A-185-2, unlike the A-185 does not have a gate bus connection so the A-140 will not get triggered. Also if you have multiple bus boards you will need to link them for the bus signals to work on all boards.

I have an A-111 on the same bus as the 185-2 in a Doepfer suitcase, and an A-140 on the same bus in a Base Case, but neither one of them is responding.  The modules are working if I patch them.  I've never tried to use the bus before.  Is there something I need to do to prepare the bus?
