Working on finishing up a Nava. I've got no rimshot sound and the handclap seems like it's low and maybe a bit more muffled than it should be.
Any tips on what I can test?
No rimshot and low handclap
An update:
I have a signal on F1, F2, F3 and TRIG.
No signal on ENV or ACC.
No signal on IC50, but it is getting power.
I did have a short in the Hi Tom area originally, but that voice seems to be okay. I didn't see any magic smoke but I did smell some smoke, could have been my imagination. There are no visibly burnt components.
Other than the rimshot and handclap, everything else sounds good.

Pull out the ANxxxx IC and see if the handclap sounds the same. I am dealing with a similar problem at the moment. Some users report getting sent bunk IC's with the kit. I requested new ones, but they arrived damaged and wit hthe same date code. Ill try and post a pic of the date code on mine later today. So i'd try taking it out and post a pic of the date code.
Thank you, I just saw the other threads referencing that IC.
I've got:
AN6912
M.609
Nothing on the bottom.
I might have a spare in stock, so I'll give it a try.
On the rimshot I think my problem is at Q65, or near it. I'm hoping I can just pull that and see if it works in a tester.

this is what i had, and what i got sent when I told e-licktronic what was happening. hopefully when the ones i ordered off ebay get here on friday it will work.
If it does, and you are in the US, PM me and i can send you one. I ordered 5.
I did have a spare, just one! I must have pulled it from an old Roland board at some point because it's "vintage".
I removed the chip that came with the kit and the sound didn't change. I put in the spare I had and adjusted the trimmer, and it sounds AMAZING now.
I appreciate the offer, but it looks like I'm good on that IC. I hope your new ones work out!
Here's the bad one on top, and the spare I had on bottom.
Now all I need is a rimshot!

I've tracked the rimshot problem down to a bad 5218. One of the pins was broken but it's also just dead now it seems.
