Volca Sample REcording malfunction / LED issue

Post by porkzo »

Hi I have a Volca Sample that has two potentially related malfunctions:

1. When I initially press record for live sequencing it will write the first step I hit into the sequencer, disable record and continue playback. I'm able to press record after this and play the phrase I wanted to sequence initially so it's not completely debilitating, however it's rather frustrating- it didn't always do this.

2. The Step indicating/parameter select LEDs (the bottom ones) are dead from Step 2-8. I've read about a transistor that can get loose and kill power to LEDs 9-11 or something, could this be a similar issues albeit a different transistor?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, maybe even a schematic if no one has had this issue or has no leads.

Thanks :D
