Re: now Chorus always on, Sub 2 Oct doesn't play root....

2007-12-26 by gil_we

It looks a few problems still remain -

I just noticed that whatever setting you use, the Chorus effect is
always working (very interesting sounding when using the Phaser or
Ensemble, which play with the Chorus....). Also, when I use the Oct 2
setting (on Sub Osc), the root sound doesn't play.

Can you think of any direction ? I suspected IC34 and IC29, but no
harm to them and no corrosion at all at this area....

Thanks !
