Bearing in mind the amount of build issues that are covered in this forum and elsewhere. I would definitely advise testing each component before you insert these. But it is better that your parts come from mouser as these will generally be more reliable than the component kits supplied with the orig...

I think that this is a reference to the transistor used in the noise section. It seems that to get the correct mv value of around 130 as per the build instructions for the noise section you may like to try buying a batch of 2SC828 transistors and trying out several until you get the correct value. Y...

Further investigations have yielded the following. R151 was burnt out it was an 100r resistor and needs to be replaced. According to another thread this is connected with installing the faulty 4011 ic on the Accent that came with the kit. However replacing both the ic and burnt out r151 has no effec...

Reflowed all the pads on the Accent section and this has brought back the Bass and High Hats also fixed an issue I previously had of the Accent causing the bass drum to drop volume when increasing the accent value. (I'll need to still measure the values again to see if these have now improved too. )...

Further to the complete lack of sound on my Yocto I re measured the instruments and came up with the following values which are all off and hopefully will help to point to why nothing is sounding. Hi hat 14.2,-14.4 Cymbal 13.8,-13.9 Cowbell 13.8,-13.9/ 13.8'-13.9 Handclap 14.0'-9.5 ba6110 / -10.8 Ri...

Going from bad to worse sadly now no instruments are sounding. Perhaps I need to check out how each of these should be triggered. Wishing I'd tested each component before building.

fired up my tr-8 for some light relief.

Ok some progress I've found cold soulder joints on the buttons so the sequencer is working in this regard. But the following issues remain: Only bass and high hats trigger with a sequence running. Switching between the toms lets me hear each as I switch but these do not sound from the sequencer. No ...

Ok so I've managed to test the audio and more trouble I'm afraid. Only sound is coming from the bass and hi hats. The volume through headphones seems really quiet too. Wierd electrical glitches come continuously from the maracas which can be volume controlled. I did the service manual adjustment to ...

Just finished building my yocto and on switching it on for the first time I noticed that steps 1-3 buttons on the sequencer do not light up. 4-16 light up fine and I can step through these. Anyone have an idea where I should start looking at. I'm assuming this is an issue within the sequencer sectio...

Please put me also down for one enclosure.
