Pittsburgh Lifeforms ADSR - how to check if it is alive

Hi all

Very new to all of this still, so grateful for advice on what might be n00b questions...

I've only just got my first basic patch going, thanks to plragde, and I have noticed that my Pittsburgh Lifeforms ADSR doesn't seem to work. No red LED, and no effect when knobs are turned or keys pushed on my midi controller.

I am assuming that this is a bad sign...

I am comfortable that the right cables are plugged into the right jacks, so it shouldn't be that. I tried two other power ribbons, but got the same outcome.

Is there some way to test if this module is functional? I have a multimeter, but not an oscilloscope.

This module came out of 'display stock' for a store. This unit is also supposed to have reverse polarity protection, if that helps

You could test the ADSR by plugging in the Square Waveform from your LFO into the IN socket on your ADSR, the light should flash.
A - Set Fully left
D - Set half way
S - Set Half way
R - Set anywhere really but a Fully left will be fine

Make the LFO slow, fingers crossed the ADSR light flashes.

It worked!!

Thank you so much!

Good stuff, glad to hear :)
