A-111 odd PW knob behaviour

A-111 odd PW knob behaviour

2011-10-24 by jakobsweb

Hi everyone,
one of my A-111 VCOs PW knob affects pitch with all waveforms but square, where it seems to work ok (affecting PW and not pitch).
I have 4 A-111-1 - so I'm able to compare. The PW knob behaviour of the other three A-111s seem normal (no pitch affection when turning PW up).

The odd behaving one is in a system with 3 A-111 with a A-190-1 midi module ... should I use a A-185-1 bus access module? I thought maybe lack of CV power could cause the behaviour ... sorry if this is a stupid thought.

Any ideas? Dieter?
Thanks for help and information.
best regards 
Jakob

how much does it affects pitch? (more than a semitone?)
in some of my A111's, the PW knob does affect pitch, but very very slightly.

Hi Bakis,
ty for the answer. It affects pitch in an extreme manner from the 12 o'clock
position on - at least that's when it gets very audible.

PS: it is not the one you sold me, but one I bought last year from a German
dealer :-) - so there is still warranty

ok, so it probably needs servicing....

try inserting a patchcord into the soft and then into the hardsync socket and try the pitch test again (with the patchcord connected) .
does the A111 still do this pitch bend, when you turn the PW knob?

Bakis!!! you're a genius :-)
after having soft and hard synched the A-111 the problem was gone - most
bizarre. Now it acts normal again.
Phew!

no prob. 

no genius, just past experience... at some point, i had 8 A111's and used them A LOT.

great oscillators. i still have 4 of them.


best regards,

Bakis
