The
A-164.1 has 3 push buttons that are used to generate three separate
manual gate signals (i.e. ~ +12V voltage output while button is
operated, 0V when released). The gate number (1, 2, 3) is milled
into the caps and white inked.
Gate 1 is a bit different: provided that no plug is connected to the
input socket it behaves like the other two manual gates (the socket
is normalled to +12V via a protection resistor). If a control signal
(e.g. rectangle output of an LFO) is fed into the input socket, the
gate button 1 is working as a momentary on/off switch that is used
to turn the signal on/off that appears at the two output sockets
(kind of mute function). Each Gate output has two sockets available
(miniature multiple). Internal jumpers can be used to connect Gate 1
or Gate 3 to the gate line of the internal A-100 bus. That way the
module can be used to control one or more envelope generators (e.g.
ADSR A-140) that are connected to the same bus board as the A-164.
The gate outputs are "smoothed" to avoid contact bouncing.
If Gate unit 1 is used to switch audio signals then an internal
capacitor should be removed as it will function as a low pass filter
for audio signals.\
Note: There are two angled pin
headers (labelled JP2 and JP3) on the pc board. These are used to
connect Gate 1 (JP3) or Gate 3 (JP2) to the Gate line of the A-100
bus. Only one of the two jumpers is allowed !
Also note that the module comes with a jumper installed to JP2 (i,e.
Gate 3 is connected to the A-100 bus). The jumper has to be removed
if an A-190 is already connected to the Gate line of the same bus
board! If the A-164.1 should be used as a Gate source for the A-100
bus, the connection of any other Gate source (like the A-190) has
to be removed. Otherwise a short circuit is made between the outputs
of the Gate transmitters, and things could get nasty! |
