Old School problem!

Post by quimgagarin » Sun Jun 12, 2011 11:14 am

Hi! I'm a new user of an Old School serial number 00556!! :D

but I'm totally disappointed :?

the volume envelope don't works well. When I make a fast and dry hit to the keys the Release sounds, but when I hold down the keys the Release is mute!!! The Release key behind the wheels is on!!! I need your help my friends!!!

Pardon the obvious question, but it has to be asked: What is the sustain level?

The Release stage becomes active when the keys are released. Otherwise it will remain at the Sustain level.

Hi !
i've got a strange problem on my Voyager Old School.
i was seaching for cool sound, and a i realise that the glide pot was set at 50% but no glide effect was applyed on the keyboard notes. At fisrt sight i thought it was normal as the glide white switch should be OFF, but it was ON.
i've unpatch every cv wire as well as the CP 351 module. and tried to make the glide work on a simple patch (switch ON, Glide pot at every position between 0 and 10) (1 VCO, no enveloppe on the VCF, a long sustain and release on the VCA.
Does anybody as experienced this kind of problem or heard about it ?
i've got electronic skills, oscilloscope, to check what is broken inside my Voyager Olschool but i can't find any service manual online, and i don't really want to send the moog back to USA (i live in Paris, France).

Any suggestion are welcome,

Regards,
