Hello group,

I dug out my R2M today and noticed, that the pressure CV (CV2) seems to not work at all. The position (pitch) CV (CV1) as well as the gate seem to work properly. 

I have tested the pressure with the MIDI settings "Aftertouch" and "Controller" and fed the CV2 to the Pitch CV in of an A-111 VCO. The pitch of the oscillator did not change, no matter how hard I pressed. Did anyone ever have a similar problem and is there an easy solution to this problem? DId I overlook something in the settings or could it be just a broken or loose part in the circuit?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
-Michael

If you refer to menu 2-2 not being set to "Off": Yes, it is set to "Aftertouch" or "MIDI Controller". (I tried both)

Pay attention that you have to turn the pressure sensor "on" (details in the
user's manual).

P.S. I'll be not able to answer questions or add my comments during next
week as we exhibit at the Musikmesse Frankfurt. Our booth number is C70 in
hall 5.1 ("sub-booth" within the Superbooth of Schneiders Buero).

OK, t the pressure sensor is on. It's difficult to make a diagnosis from the
distance. There are several possibilities: defective USB cable, defective
USB connector (connector on the R2M manual or R2M box or cable), defective
pressure sensor, defective R2M box (AD input). You may have to send in the
R2M to the dealer where you purchased the unit.
