You're very welcome, graag gedaan, glad I could help. As for bypassing the pot: you certainly could, just make sure you don't cause a short so pay attention to the pinout (tip: look up the data sheet for this pot on the ALPS web site). I'm not sure I would bypass it myself, since that would take ...

Hello Laxiton. Since you use Euros as currency, I'm going out on a limb and assume you might be from Europe :). Rather than ordering from Mouser in the US, why not locate an ALPS dealer in Europe? Alps has a distributor locator at http://www.alps.com/e/common/contact_us/wheretobuy/europe.html. Check ...

Think of the sequencer as a grid. It only has a finite number of subdivision, which is what i referred to as the resolution. Mind you, at 120 BPM (typical dance/pop/rock music) that is still 384 steps per second, or less than 3 msec for a step. It's not really an "odd" number if you consider it's ...

192 is the internal resolution of the sequencer, and i'm pretty sure it can't be changed.

But instead of simple multiple of .050, why don't you just use simple multiples of .048? If you do this a lot, make a simple lookup table to cheat.

Looking at the datasheets, the "DK" version appears to already have wires attached to them. Don't know (without opening my triton) would be easier to work with.

The buttons are Panasonic EVQ11 9mm. I ordered mine at digikey, part number P8073SCT-ND: http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=P8073SCT-ND With decent desoldering braid (absolutely necessary) and 40 switches (get a few extra just in case) the total was less than $20. It's ...

Well, I've had something like this happen recently a few times. As if a switch on the triton was being depressed. Similar symptoms: automatic scrolling through patches, changing values, weird stuff. Since two other buttons were getting iffy (I sometimes had to "mash" them), I ended taking my Triton ...

Got a replacement main volume pot (Alps RK12L12C0A0G, bought it a Mouser). It's a little different than the pot it replaces (A Bourns PTV112): it has a longer shaft that needs to be trimmed, and the curve is logarithmic instead linear (which is fine for a volume pot). This is what I did: To get ...

Hehe :). Well, my problem returned, so I did some more troubleshooting. Result: if I apply pressure on the main pot in a certain direction I can make the problems go away. So it seems to be some mechanical problem: either a broken pot (my guess) or a bad solder job. Time to look and see what's ...

I just got the schematics and parts for the cable, so once I build the cable I'll give that a try next.. All right, so I found the service manual, the cable spec, got the components, and built the test cable. When I tried the tube calibration process, the LEFT channel was reported as in spec (value ...

Thanks for the observations. Note that 3/4 are NOT affected, it's just headphone out and L/R. And left channel definitely distorts, even with tubes off, so that's no good.

Hello Yatmandu. Thanks for the reply. No "leakage" indeed when playing through 3/4. I tried swapping the tubes, and I get the same result (right channel still much louder than left channel, and even with master volume all the way down there is a lot of noise - more than what I would call crosstalk ...

EMX right channel problem

I just bought an EMX (ebay) and it seems to be in fine condition. I ran into a problem, would like to hear from the experts hear what you think of it. Thanks in advance for the responses. The problem is that the right channel is much louder (4-5 dB) than the left channel. This is apparent in main L ...
