Dark Clouds Overhead

2001-02-16 by thomas white

Well, now I've done it. I've finally constucted my first moudle that I have 
some sort of problem with right off the bat :~( Module #17 in my system) A 
110-VCA that seemed to be calibrating OK, but when it gets to calibrating 
the Y axis in the same fashion as the X axis, the Y trimmer makes no change 
in the voltage I am supposed to be measuring at the ring-mod out jack. I was 
suprised by this and plugged a 300 VCO tri wave into it with an sine 320 lfo 
modulating the CV input. The sound was kind of happening when all of the 
sudden there is this crazy "squirt " zipper type sound and the audio cuts 
out for a minute... then comes back in. The whole time the audio is in it 
sounds kind of distorted for a 300 tri wave. Where do I look first? The ring 
mod portion does not make ring mod sounds in any way right now. I tested 
that section after the VCA. There do not appear to be any messy assembly 
spots or poorly soldered joints and the coax looks fine, but this can 
sometimes be deceiving. HELP if you can make any sense of this,

Thomas White
