As i posted the other day, i bought a second hand AE synth, now i have a few questions.
In the TRIQ64 module in the new synth, the LED's seems to be rather dim, noticeable less bright than for instance the LED's in my old step 10 module. Is that normal?
I plan to use the output of the TRIQ64 to trigger som external stuff via optocouplers, but i can't get it so work, so i measured the voltage on the OUT1 and it is only around 1.34 volts when "high", the output on my old step10 is close to 4.0 volts. Is this normal?
The TRIQ64 module does work when triggering the Drumkit and the Kick modules.
I plan to transplant my old AE and the new into two new 2x20 cases, will i need 2 or 4 of the wide bus cables (1 or two pr. case) ?
While i wait for the new cases to arrive, i plan to use the two AE synths with a master module in each, and each powered by its own powersupply. What is the best way to establish a common ground between the two cases, so i can patch up modules across the two cases ?
And finally, is the link cable only available with the case connection kit ?
Thank you all Mikael / MikMo

Regarding the TRIQ164: The output should be at least 4.5 volts, 1.34 for high is definitely too low. This explains also that you cannot trigger KICK and DRUMKIT (which are the primary targets for the TRIQ of course!) Seems there is an issue with the module. The LEDs are a bit more dimmed than in the first STEP10, also because some users were complaining that they were too bright and almost blinded them when working in the dark ;-) Please contact me directly to manage the check/swap of the TRIQ164 module.

Linking cases: Of course you can get the link cable between the cases separately; maybe a longer one is useful if you don't use the hinge kit. And when you connect the two cases via the link cable, the common ground is established anyway.
One thing that comes to my mind: When you power the two racks separately, then the link cable should not connect the 5V supply line; looks like a new kind of connection cable I have to make here. But this is not an issue, I can make it! Please refer to this post when you place an order for the cases!

I only want to power the two units seperatly until i get two new cases, so it will not be wit the link cable installed. I won't get the link cable before i get the new cases..
So how to make commom ground without the link cable ?

Hi Robert. Triggering the kick and drumkit DOES work. I do hear some clicking from triggering the drumkit, especially the Oh and CH, but that might just be the "LO-FI" module... Thanks

So how to make commom ground without the link cable ? I think it should be enough to patch a 3.5mm mono jack cable (like the ones for Eurorack) between the two master modules’ audio or ctrl sockets.

Thank you
It's just a temporary solution until i can put everything in two new cases with just one master module.
