Hand Clap Sound problem

Hi,

what did you do to fix the hand clap from the demo on youtube?

I am building the clap from the schematic by Roland and have the same hand clap sound you have on youtube. It does not sound right. What did you do to fix it?

The soundcloud update files you posted sounds correct however. What changed?????

I have aligned .47uf cap + to ground.

I am using the Ba6110 as you have too!. I think i have the conversion right.

Pin 1 to Pin 4
Pin 2 to Pin 2
Pin 3 to Pin 1
Pin 4 to Pin 3
Pin 5,6,7,8,9 all the same as the original BA662

The sound has no body as though the direct clap sound is missing or the speed of the claps is too fast. There is just a Ksssuuuush sound without any KKKLLLLUUUUAAAPPP.


Thanks for any help.

Dear Muffy1975,

What is your C140 value. On the original schematic it's 2.7nF but with this value you didn't get the 30ms pulse.
You have to change this value to 27nF.
Try to add a 10k resistor between Q70 emitter and -15v PSU that VCA will open to get clap verb.

I hope it will help you

Best regards,

Hey,


yes i had 2n7 there not 27n. Swapped that out and added the 10k resistor to the emitter of q70. The clap sounds too fast and not deep enough still . I suspect i am not getting all the four pulses. Is there any way of checking this. I have scope!!

The clap sound is too fast with no enough body. Is there aany way of slowing down the pulses as per eric archer's clap raca??


Thanks again


Michael

Sorry, Muffy, but it won't let me PM you back (it says I'm too new to the forum??).

PM me your email address, please.

So to clarify - If I'm following the directions online and the printing on the PCB will this be correct or not?
