It's still got this problem at the moment. Flicking the switch and changing the scales and threshold all have no effect on the gates at all, both LEDs stay on, even if I unplug the ribbon controller cable from the module. This is why I think it's not the manual or cable causing the issue, but the module itself.

Thanks for the explanation of the trimming potentiometer. It doesn't sound like that's the problem then, as it's both the position and pressure that are giving false positives. Unless it somehow affects both

Heh, I fear it might have gotten a bit too excited on the journey to the university for the synth patching workshop, though I can't see anything wrong with it and it was a smooth ride. Plus all the other A-100 modules I brought along seem fine. (Indeed, they seemed to be working much better than the other synths we got to play with, that the uni provided: two VCS3s and 100ms, nice.)

Is there anything I should try to fix this

Thanks,
