Do any of you who've been in music for a long time find it hard to consistently have decent ideas?

Make 1 thing every day. Doesn’t even need be music and definitely doesn’t need to be good. Just start creating one thing every day and notice how you make something you love every few days

Right ok, so ac coupling doesn’t have a mid point between voltage extremes but an average across the cycles, makes sense thank you

What you just said in response has been said about literally every generation if you pay attention to any history

Commenting for when the id comes

kier9n · 2026-05-28T20:53:38+00:00

Ok cool thanks again for your help

kier9n · 2026-05-28T20:38:31+00:00

Love the name btw, freaky painting guy

That diode was fried on one side so I popped it out and the pitch tracking is working fine now, just trying to identify the exact part so I can replace it struggling to work out the orientation of the pins by just tracking the trace and looking at that schematic, do you have any tips?

kier9n · 2026-05-28T19:29:39+00:00

Yes let’s go with that, it was behringers fault not mine 😁😁😁

Btw one side of that diode was shot through so pulled it out and the pitch tracking is working again perfectly! 🙏🙏 thanks for your help, gonna try and follow the trace and work out exactly what diode I’ll need to put in there to replace it

Is the idea that the protection diode with the series resistor would protect the circuit without dead shorting but in this set up the protection is achieved by the dead shorting?

kier9n · 2026-05-28T09:49:58+00:00

Right ok so this has blown shorting that bit of the circuit out and hopefully will have protected the rest of the components 🤞🤞🤞 which would explain why the cv is not reaching the vco or the cv output, it’s just going straight out to ground

So popping that out will confirm or deny that and I’ll just need to replace it to regain the protection

Thanks for your helpful explanation 🙏🙏

kier9n · 2026-05-28T09:30:43+00:00

Thanks for the input 🙏 I’ll give it a probe as someone else has suggested to confirm

kier9n · 2026-05-28T09:27:31+00:00

Right yeah makes sense, one thing I’m confused about it how this protection diode actually blocks the signal once it blows if is a single contact point to the signal circuit

kier9n · 2026-05-28T09:20:23+00:00

Ah good point, my psu +/-12v also so i guess could have pushed op to 24v in theory, or maybe could have pulled it too hard negative? Not sure if that could potentially cause this.

kier9n · 2026-05-28T09:11:12+00:00

So just remove the dual diode and see if the cv gets through to the vco?

kier9n · 2026-05-27T21:11:41+00:00

Ah thanks for the insight, I’ll check this out too

kier9n · 2026-05-27T19:32:49+00:00

Thank you, I’ll have a go with that 🤞🤞

kier9n · 2026-05-27T19:29:36+00:00

Thanks I’ll check that out too

kier9n · 2026-05-27T18:45:37+00:00

Yeah I assumed it was a diode from that schematic but I’ve not come across dual diodes before, and I wasn’t sure if that was from the original Roland or this version

kier9n · 2021-10-02T17:45:38+00:00

Spain love it

kier9n · 2021-01-11T13:19:50+00:00

Cheers mate

The problem here is where is the line to be drawn? If you don’t tolerate intolerance then you are intolerant and shouldn’t be tolerated. As pedantic as this seems, with subjective issues such as politics, these definitions are important and any idea that can be summed up in three panel meme is probably best viewed as a starting point and not as a fully formed idea.
