Do the following:
switch off the A-100.
Remove all conections. Definitely remove the MCV24.
Turn all pots of the A-141 to zero (7 o'clock position)
Switch on the A-100
-> Does the LED of the A-141 glow
If no: The A-141 itself works fine. Continue below at XXX
If yes: plugin a cable into the Gate socket (other end
hanging loose)
-> Does the LED still glow
If yes: A-141 is broken
If no: the A-141 receives some gatesignale via the
bus check out where it is coming from.
Connect the cable to rectangle out of an LFO. The
LED should blink short in the tempo of the LFO.
XXX: If LED doe not glow at first check:
turn Sustain-Pot (NOT the CV-Sustain!) fully clockwise.
-> Does the LED glow now
If no: A-141 is good, but you had some troubles in gate wiring
with your MCV24.
If yes: plugin a cable into the Gate socket (other end
hanging loose)
-> Does the LED still glow
If yes: A-141 is broken
If no: the A-141 receives some gatesignale via the
bus check out where it is coming from.
Connect the cable to rectangle out of an LFO. The
LED should blink short in the tempo of the LFO.
