checking instruments during building

I'd like to know the process to check the tone of each instruments while building, similar to what's done on the x0xb0x assembly, in order to debug a bad section if necessary before moving to the next one.

Do you mean checking instead of controlling?

yes, you are right. thanks

Dear Julien,
To check instrument before start building the next one you need to send a 1ms 5V pulse signal in the Trig input and connect the Accent input to 5V. (cf
schematic to find this points).
The best and easy way to make it is to use a Arduino.
Beest regards,

thank you Vincent
DIGITALWRITE is my friend
code snippet for a 1 ms trig every second on pin8 of arduino UNO:
Code: Select all
int ledPin = 8;
void setup()
{
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin as output
}
void loop()
{
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // sets the pin on
delay(1); // waits for a millisecond
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // sets the pin off
delay(1000); // waits for a second
}
Best regards

Vincent, could you give an example with one of the instruments? Where to connect this, say, for the bass drum?
My Arduino is flashing the test LED connected to pin 8, but I'm not sure I understand correctly.
I need to connect the pulse signal from the Arduino to R155. Then? I don't know where the Accent input is that needs to be connected to 5V.
Also: will I hear the signal at R175? At line level?
thanks for helping me out of my confusion...

Dear misa,
For the bassdrum you need to connect pulse signal from Arduino to R155 then R152 to 5V.
Signal out at R175. You can check the signal with small amplifier speakers.

Hello,
Would the Trig Out from my Arp Odyssey or Gate out from my SH101 work as a trigger signal?

I don't know polarity of ARP odyssey trig out but if it's positive trig out it should work but not the SH101 gate out.

Gates from a Eurorack would work, though?
