eml synthesizers

Hey guys, just found this forum. Also just acquired an eml 101.

So OSC2 seems to be making subsonic oscs. Reading the user and service manual it seems like it should be making human-range oscillations like osc3 and 4 are, but instead i am hearing mostly nothing, and sometimes that little "flap" you hear when you are listening to the direct out from the other oscs when you have them set to cm/-1/etc.

this is wrong, right? or am i missing something?

OSC2 is an audio frequency oscilator so it seems your EML 101 is in need of a service. The only VCOs that operate in the LFO range are OSC1 & OSC4

Thanks for the response.

Any idea what might be causing it to be operable but in LFO range?

I'll be taking it apart for a thorough cleaning soon and although I'm not up to snuff in synth circuit design, I have a decent working knowledge of audio electronics troubleshooting and repair.

I don't service my own synths and am not at all technical but if you can't work out from the service manual what the problem is then you need a tech. I assume it's just a calibration issue as presumably all 4 VCOs could operate in the LFO range and EML simply calibrated 2 & 3 to be audio only. M
