[motm] LFO troubles

[motm] LFO troubles

2000-06-11 by skinny bastard

Okay, I was just using my new roland 180, after modifying it to work 
with MOTM's (thank you Charles Stella), and my LFO went out. When I say that 
it went out, here's what happened: a was doing just a basic patch, and was 
switching the patch cable from FM input on the 320 to the 420. I then was 
not satisfied with the sound, and so I went back to what I was doing before, 
only now, the LFO was not registering any envelopes. So what I was getting 
was the equivelant of CV going to the 1V/OCT input on the LFO. To make sure 
that it was just the LFO, I cranked up the res on the 420 to self-oscillate, 
patched the keyboard into it, and played it like an oscillator. Worked fine. 
Then, I turned off the system, turned it back on, and then the LFo wouldn't 
do a damned thing. The LED is stuck on green, if I crank the volume up real 
loud, I head some VERY bassy, noisy, random rumbling. This does not change 
at all if I modulate it with anything.
       It's worked fine for months, and then this happened a few hours ago. 
Anyone have any idea? I don't currently have a scope available or even a 
multimeter, so I can't check it out right now, but I was wondering if anyone 
possibly has had this problem before, or had any leads.

If you unplug the 180 keybaord, set SHAPE to 5, and RATE doesn't do
anything, it
is broken and you will have to send it in for repair.
