Problem with arpeggiator in latch mode.

Problem with arpeggiator in latch mode.

2009-07-20 by Tero Kaarrela

Hi,

I have a problem with mono/poly arpeggiator and I hope that someone could give me a hint what could be wrong.

When I set arpeggiator in latch mode and select Poly for key assing mode, oscilators won't play one by one. Instead, all the oscilators play at same time even the LED that indicates what oscilator is playing, lites one by one.

Any ideas what could be wrong? 

BR, Tero

Some questions for analysis:

Do the four VCOs play all the same note, or the notes you pressed as
arpeggio chord?
Does this happen with external arpeggio clock or with internal clock?
Is any cable connected to the trigger input (additionally to the clock in)?

Hi Florian,

I have to double check the notes that are played by the VCO's when I'm back at home. Meanwhile I can answer to the other questions...

The result is the same with internal clock or external clock and there is no cable connected to the trig in.

I don't know if it makes any difference to this problem but my mono/poly has been modified by the previous owner. It has individual CV inputs for the VCO's (no individual trig inputs, only CV). However, I don't have anything connected to the CV inputs.

It is difficult to judge this without knowing details about the modifcation.

In fact the behaviour you are describing is like there would be a
trigger coming in to the Trigger input. This would override the muting
switches which select the individual VCOs (I use this sometimes
willingly to create chordtriggers which are not set with chordmemory,
but by hand and shall be held).

Hi,

I tested the arpeggiator again and to me it seems that VCO's do play different notes.

I opened the mono/poly to check where the CV modification is connected.

From KLM-356C resistors R8, R9, R10 and R11 goes wires to the plugin socket pins.
From the another pin of the plugin sockets goes wires to KLM-354C CN12.

Arpeggiator used to work in Poly mode even CV modification was installed.

Hi,

It seems that light fixed the arpeggiator because it's working normally now after I assembled mono/poly back together. It might be some contact failure but where?
