the a143-2 is, by default, not receiving gate signals from the busboard and, so, it is normal not to receive gates from the a190.

Subject: 1 A-190 weirdness - anyone have any words of wisdom

I have an A-190 which does all the basics very nicely. However, there
are a few weirdies with it which I don't entirely understand.

1) Gate is NOT automatically patched into my A-143-2 quad ADSR. Is this
because my A-190 is on the top rail and my A-143-2 is on the lower rail

2) The LFO function seems to alter the amplitude of vibrato my mod
wheel has on the note, and NOT the frequency as specified in the manual.

3) The clock-out seems to do nothing despite receiving clock signals
from my sequencer (AFAIK). I was under the impression that it converted
clock ticks from my sequencer's clock into gates, but the the 'clock'
LED stays firmly unlit at all times regardless how much other sequenced
information is sent. Is this normal Have I misunderstood something
The only time I've had it light is when I patch a gate signal from
another module (say, the A-143-2) IN to it!

4) There seems to be no way of enabling portamento without sending midi
signals to the unit first - something my master keyboard does not do.

Overall, so far I'm tempted to 'downgrade' to the new midi unit when
it's released!

Many thanks for any help. I've read all the manuals, and battled away
with this for a month, but have - as yet - to gain any insight into
what's going on.
