Oh, another 'small' question :
I installed the few modules I have myself.
But I was wondering about the mastermodule.
There are 2 blocks to connect the master module,
lets say a high block that is used for the bus.
And a lower block that is a block that is also used on all other modules.
If i install it on the left side of the rack, it was really difficult to connect the power block part (lower block).
And becasue the lower left corner of the rack is becoming really hot I asked myself if I needed to connect that 'default' power block in this case ..
So the question is if that power block has to be connected also, or is that only needed if I do not connect the bus-block.

I hope I got the question right...: We are talking about the connection of the bus cable (grey ribbon cable) to the MASTER module, correct? At the lower right edge of the MASTER module there is a 10-pin connector named P6; here, the bus cable is plugged in. There is another connector more to the top and the left side, named P1; this one is ONLY for connecting the MASTER module to a eurorack bus (when the MASTER is used in an AE eurorack adapter).
Perhaps you might share a pic of your setup? Would make it more easy to give a hint :-)

And the P1 is in the upper right. (I see now there is EURORACK written next to it.) I thought the small ribbon (with 2 connectors ) was for the upper (P1) and the longer ribbon for the lower. But now I expect the smaller ribbon upper is just for the Master module but then for the P6 (lower) connector. and the longer one is for the other modules ? Am i right about that ? The problem is I could not find info about the case I thought there should be a document for it, but did not find that. And in the Master module document I also did not much about installing. But now i hope I have enough information.. PS - this works now, I hope you can confirm this is the right way to connect. Also the problem with the delay is gone now, so all works fine. If you get a hall of fame of epic fails in AE Modular I will nominate myself for that.. |
