Re: Korg SQ-10 anomaly..? FIXED..!!!

2011-09-16 by Quazimodo

Hi folks,

I managed to fix it with a little trial and error.
If you feed the reset patch cord vis a .01 ceramic disc capacitor the problem is resolved.

Cheers,
TOM

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..?
