Re: Sequential Circuit Pro One UPD8021 chip

2013-09-10 by Nicolas

I received the P8021 chip that I ordered from www.musictechnologiesgroup.com  for the Sequential Pro One synthesizer and that seems to work. 
The only small problem that I have is that the arpegiator stays ON most of the time. Sometime, when I turn OFF and ON the power, the arpegiator turns OFF and the synth behave normally.
I cleaned and checked the arpegiator switch but that's seems to be fine.
Anybody has seen this problem before?
Thank you!

Nicolas
