env mod range acting strange

Post by ivo francx »

Hey,
Yet another problem with my x0xb0x:
Now that I've played a few basslines, I noticed that the decay pot has almost no effect on the filter envelope. Only if I set the env mod to the maximum setting. Setting env mod below 2 o'clock will make the decay pot pretty much useless.
My guess is that there are some resistors around the env mod that need some fine tuning. Can anyone point out which ones that could be?

can you post a short sample of a pattern with normal and accented notes which demonstrates the problem?

The way I'm reading it the actual problem is that the Env Mod knob isn't affecting the signal as much as he would like.

From my experience the Env Mod knob has little functionality on the left half of its travel. Naturally this means the the Decay knob hasn't much functionality there as well. But the problem clearly is the Env Mod knob.

Is this normal? I don't know but my own Xoxbox behaves this way, too.

Hey,
Sorry for not posting earlier... Didn't have much time at my hands...
Anyway. Here's a video of my x0x: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJQe-V-d4H0
Maybe someone could tell me if this behaviour is normal or if I should open it up once more.
Thanks!
