Krakend cutoff-potje vervangen. Leek me geen probleem, ik had eerder al 'n defect LFO LEDje in die bak vervangen zonder complicaties. Ik snap de ballen van electronica maar LEDje eruit, LEDje erin, leek me niet iets om 'm voor naar Duitsland te sturen. Blijkbaar heb ik die tweede keer toch iets aangeraakt wat ik niet had moeten aanraken.

From the distance it is very difficult to find out what happened to the MS-404.
At first I would assume that you broke one of the copper tracks when you
replaced the potentiometer. The integrated circuits are normally not as
sensitive as many people think. But if the copper tracks are OK probably one of
the integrated circuits has become defective. But it is a problem from the
distance to find out which one (probably in the ADSR circuit).
On our web site you will find the complete service manual of the MS-404 if this
would help (click to the MANUALS button at the left side of the page and then to
the link for manuals of devices that are no longer available).
In every case you could send us your MS-404 for repair. In this case please
contact the engineer who is responsible for MS-404 repairs: Roland Mayer

De distortion is wel lekker!
[/ontopic]
nou bijna, de gain knop voluit en fader op -20db anders hoor ik de rest niet meer...
, als die kleine modellen dat ook kunnen (wat ik zeker ga proberen hehe) dan pak je gewoon een goedkoop behringertje voor 100€ en dat hang je dan voor je mixer als distortion effect, dat doen by the way een hoop van de tophardcore producers , eerst de 909 door een goedkoop brak mengpaneeltje (promo zelfs door een datec xtc dj mengpaneel :confused: ) en dan pas in je main mixer en gaan met die spreekwoordelijk banaan
