a question for Jens Johansson

Here musicians can talk to each other about making music etc. Of course if you are not a musician you are still welcomed to this board, but the topics should somehow be about making music.

mmm i dont know...if you see the picture about the potentiometer you can see that the four terminal goes directly into the pot...i think that it`s another function...

How were the wires connected when you took it apart??
This isn't as complicated as it seems...(or is it???:lol: )
Just try out some ideas. Try a pot that's higher 10k.
If it doesn't work, then try another idea.
If that doesn't work, maybe you blew it up!! :lol:

If I'm lucky enough I'll find an used DX7 lying around on some hippie's house this week, can someone give me some highlights on it's functioning? I want to try and do something with it.

The fourth terminal is connected to the center.. these things are pretty unusual.

Google for center tap potentiometer i suppose.

Strictly speaking you don't need the center tap. But if the input voltages are not exactly balanced you might then get spurious pitch bend information..
