Re: [vintagesynthrepair] Korg SQ-10 anomaly..?

2011-09-16 by Mike

Korg uses s-trig on most vintage stuff.
When you pull the jack out, the tip probably makes contact with ground, resetting the sequencer.
You could verify this by touching the tip of the cable against the chasis, like a jack socket locknut. Does that reset the sequence?

(I don't own a sq10, so the above is speculation)

If the above holds true, then there may be a workaround, but I think it may involve a rotary switch and a DIY box with a bunch of cables.

Cheers
Mike

So say for example I want to have an eight note sequence and then pull the cord and put it into the seventh channel to make the next run a seven note sequence, I am finding that as I pull the cord and change sockets - the sequence is interrupted and starts from the beginning...! Not the desired effect. Does anyone know why this is happenng and if there is a work around fix for it..?
