Hi Trev.I'll say something. You should get a high
positioned job at one of these "Companys",as youre
giving alot more input than certain other well
known places.
OK then.You say it should be so easy.That makes me
laugh.1st though please,read a similar thread i
had going at http://www.sospubs.co.uk/. general
music forum,
under the same title.
You say"just draw in a long note" Did that. You
say"make pro 2 send out a gate signal" Tried every
setting and possible combination i could think of
,on the Pro 2 and in Cubase.
The guys at Kenton had my TB 303 AND my Pro 2 for
about 3 weeks,(although i dont think they spent
much time on her)and they could'nt get it to play
a long continuous,indefinate,sustained note,(apart
from the way i described on my last post
above)They didnt even know if this was/is
possible,and they invented,fitted and tested the
Kenton kit.
On my S.O.S forum thread,i was talking to a guy
from Australia,who had the Devil Fish Mod,and was
using a Pro 2,and he Could easily get his to play
an indefinate note,using the same settings as i,
on the Pro 2,therefor my conclusion was/is simply
that its the Kenton Mod, thats stopping this from
happening.Even John Kenton Price told me that his
mods were very basic,as not to alter the TB 303 in
anyway if possable,unlike the DevilFish,(although
he also told me that it was about 18 yrs ago or so
that he first did the schematics for the mods,and
i think he pretty much has forgotten how its
done.)
You say youve not used one personally,thats fair
enough as i havent been able to find anybody else
using a Kenton 5 socket kit,and a Pro 2.If we
could find those illusive people,we could ask them
if they can get theirs to play a indefinate
note.Until someone uncatagorically say that they
can,i will continue to have my doubts with the
Kenton setup,as i have spent hours trying to get
it to do this "Simple function".
I do thank you though Trev for your help,and
taking an intrest in this,and i will try that
multimeter test when i can get hold of one.
BTW.Do you acctually have a modified TB 303 that
can play an indefinate note,or are you just
assuming that you can ?
Also to note,i actually sent down the email you
sent me,to Kenton,(your name not supplied) as it
did seem quite logical,but as i said,no joy.When i
play a note on the keyboard,the sound just
declines/fades away after about 6 seconds,no
matter what setting i have made.
If it turns out that im making a silly mistake,i
will tell you all, before i jump out of the
window,but i dont think i am,so lets hope we can
find SOMEBODY ELSE with my exact setup,(it
shouldnt be that hard) and see if they can play a
indefinate single note. ( Am i repeating myself ?)
I think i have spent far to much time on this
subject already,and had conseeded to use the 303
in the way i mentioned earlier,but if someone else
can make theirs do this,i would like to know,and
would spend more time on
