Sequencer Step 6 HOLD not working

Sequencer Step 6 HOLD not working

2011-12-06 by Stephen Richards

Hi Ken/All

I built the SWAMP panel and have found recently that the Step no 6 push button momentary switch will not halt the sequence when held down.

All the other push button momentary switches do halt the sequence.

This fault does not affect the sequencer's normal operation when being clocked.

regards

Stephen

Does it cause the sequence to jump to step 6 when pressed?
If not, you have a bad button, a fault with one of the diodes it feeds, or a
bad connection somewhere areound that area.

Hi Ken

Sequence will not jump to Step 6 when Button 6 is pressed.

Here's what else i found :

When the Seq is first powered up without anything patched ; step 6 is constantly lit.


When something is patched to 'down' input (in this case the %2 out of the Pulse Divider) , the sequence always starts from Step 6.

It sounds more like the switch is shorted ON. Look around for a solder
bridge or similar on the 6th board.
