  • MOD wheel sets the zero to current position at startup... weird!

    It seems that my Virus Ti2 Polar will set the position of the MOD wheel at startup to be CC=0. So if it's in the middle position at startup, it will regard that as CC=0.


    But more interesting is that if the MOD wheel is not turned all the way down at startup, and is then turned down after startup. The MOD wheel will stop working.


    Meaning that if it's in middle position at startup, and is then moved to zero, it will stop to respond.


    However if the MOD wheel is at zero position when I start up the synth, it works flawlessly, 0 at lowest position, and 127 at top position


    So the MOD wheel works, if I remember to have the MOD wheel at zero at startup.


    But I'm wondering if this is the expected behaviour? Or possibly a firmware bug? I'm running firmware 5.1.7.00.

  • Damaged MOD wheel connector? Can someone comment on these pictures?

    Zitat von GESchwalm

    Curious set of circumstances!

    I'm not an electronics tech but mentioning if you obtained this TI2 new or used might help. :)

    If it is used perhaps the previous owner tried and failed to fix an existing problem and then just wanted to relieve their-self of the unit? :( Have you tried the "hold arp edit button" system reset?

    If the synth is new I would definitely contact support.

    The synth is not under warranty, but I think it is from 2016. Did a reset but no dice.

  • Damaged MOD wheel connector? Can someone comment on these pictures?

    Hi


    I'm in the process of repairing a Ti2 with a broken MOD wheel. I found something super fishy on the connector board for the MOD and PITCH wheels. Seems like someone has added some extra soldering, which is shorting three pins together. The soldering looks home-made and most likely not an original work from the factory. I've got some pictures of the connector.


    Here are the pictures:

    Does this look normal, or just some soldering I should clean out?


    The problem I'm trying to fix is that the MOD wheel is either at 0 or maximum. Zero position on the MOD wheel sends out zero, all other positions send out maximum.


    The pitch wheel is however working fine.


    I'd like to add that the pins that have been soldered are not the pins that are connected to the MOD wheels pot. And when I turn the MOD wheel I'm able to measure a variable 0 to 10k ohm resistance at the end of the cable connecting the wheels to the keyboard (after the messed up connector on the pictures), so the MOD wheel should be working. But this added soldering might still be effecting the behaviour.


    Can anyone in here that's familiar with the internals of the Ti2s confirm if this soldering is needed or not?
