Summary

WASP Synthesiser Test Instructions

Visual Inspection

Examines p.c.b. for soldering faults, IC reversal, and electrolytic capacitor orientation.

Initial Settings

Sets all controls to specified positions for initial testing and power-up.

Power Consumption

Measures current draw to diagnose potential issues like reversed regulators or shorts.

Preliminary Keyboard Setup

Checks keyboard scanning clock, TRIG output pulses, and waveform m/s ratio.

Oscillator Checks

Verifies oscillator output frequencies and signals using scope probes.

Low-Frequency Oscillator Setup

Tests LFO output waveforms (sine, sawtooth, noise) and frequency response.

VCA Envelope Generator Check

Inspects VCA envelope generator output waveforms and control responses.

Control Envelope Generator Check

Tests a simpler envelope generator for repeat and single-shot modes.

Filter Control Voltage Check

Monitors filter control voltage variations with keyboard and filter controls.

Filter Bias Stability Check

Checks filter output DC level stability and potential bias issues.

Listening Test

Performs audio checks for all oscillators, noise, and pitch controls.
