NO SIGNAL?
Check;
Your mixing desk / monitoring equipement is on and working correctly.
Check Semblance is switched on.
Check it is connected to your monitoring equipment correctly and that the cable is
not faulty.
Ensure the output volume is high enough.
Ensure the mixer level controls are turned to some sound source like the VCOs or
Noise.
Certain extreme filter settings may filter out all of the signal or produce low level sig-
nals. Try adjusting the filter cut-off.
Certain extreme PW/PWM settings may cause the pulse outputs to cut-out. Try ad-
justing PW/PWM as neccessary.
Try putting the VCA to ON to hear Semblance sound, but if you are using a MIDI
keyboard to trigger the envelopes and VCA, ensure correct MIDI connection, and that the
correct channels have been selected.
QUICK METHOD FOR ZERO MODULATION
Some of the modulation level controls are zeroed when in the centre position. It is quite
easy to zero these controls to have no modulation. But another quick and sure method to
obtain this is the put the modulation source switch to either EXT1 or EXT2. Assuming you
have no signals coming into these rear panel sockets, you will eliminate any modulation.
EXPANSION
For the DIY enthusiast and those wishing to invalidate their warranty, most of the signal
source and destination points are indicated on the circuit board. It would be possible with
some good skills to bring these points to front panel sockets.
Of course we do not recommend you do this and it will invalidate all warranties.
INTERNAL CALIBRATION OF VCOs
Calibration of Semblance is done at the factory and usually should not needed to be
changed.
Only attempt this yourself if you are fully confident you can do it. You may just end
up ruining the settings, and be aware, calibration is something that we cannot help with
other the phone. There are no additional guides we can give by phone to help that are not
already printed here.
