S-TRIG

Discuss Yocto construction and related issues
  • Does anybody have an idea about this "s-trig" issue ? I suspect a transistor but I don't know which one I have to check... :oops: Thank you !
  • Dear Sal Mocco,

    How did you find that you 've got S-trig instead of v-trig.
    Do you have a scope ?
    Because i don't think both trig out will be faulty at the same time, but it's possible too.

  • Hi !

    Thank you for your answer. I noticed this malfunction because of the answer of my SH-2 to those triggers (continous gate and retrig when the trig step sequenced was lighting), so I tested with my voltmeter and there was 5V at both triggers outputs even without trigs sequenced. I've just tested five minutes ago with my old scope (not a very accurate one) and I have an impulsion of 0V (5-10ms) on a 5V signal on both trig outputs. I don't know if it is relevant but I can't either do rolls with triggers (maybe it's not possible even with a normal gear).

    And if someone can explain me how to link a jack to the third trig output, it would be just great !

    Thank you again ! Image
  • Hi,

    Check that you get 0V at Q1 and Q2 base on the IO board.
    Check that this transistor are 2SA733.

    Tu use trig 3 out simply connect the tip of jack connector (or other) to the trigout3 pad or you can add the same circuit as the other trig out to prevent damage.

  • Again, thank you !

    I got 5V on both 2SA733 transistors (Q1&Q2) bases. I guess my mistake is upstream in the circuit...

    I occurred to me that the Trigger 2 mono jack socket could be replaced with a stereo jack socket (TRS), if the legs to the ring were bent back (or cut off). Then a wire from the Trig 3 pad on the I/O board could be soldered to the ring legs. That way a simple stereo to mono splitter lead could be used to output trigger 2 from the tip and trigger 3 from the ring. :P

  • Clever ! Thank you :mrgreen:
  • If someone has more trails about this s-trig issue... I'm here ! :mrgreen: :geek:
  • Sorry to insist but it's very sad to see my yocto opened without being able to repair it, nobody has an idea about that issue ? Thank you very much !
