Extremely helpful thank you. I think 99.99% of synth KZbinrs think this should be obvious but there is some ambiguity to it.

Hi thanks for watching and the comment. Yeah I really struggled with it when I started and have got it wrong still a couple of times. Glad it’s helpful.

[@woundsdrone]

always great my friend! Tip 6: when turning on the case don’t let go of the power button for a few seconds in case you need to turn the case off immediately. 🖤

[@Mavenfiction]

Genius tip! Thanks mate :)

[@illustriouschin]

Yeah so you can turn it off before the lightning bolt barbecues the nibblets in there.

I don't really do modular but I still thought this video was very informative!! Nice shirt btw!!

[@IanWaugh]

Solid advice which everyone needs to note. It's a shame that the original Doepfer spec didn't specify shrouded headers as that would have alleviated most probs :-) Also, I think the good designers/manufacturers have some sort of voltage recognition circuitry that will simply stop the module working rather than blowing it up. At least they should have.

[@Mavenfiction]

Thanks Ian. That’s a really interesting point that I didn’t consider. You still see a few people saying they have smoked modules but I’ve never experienced it and it’s probably due to what you’ve just stated about manufacturers.

[@IanWaugh]

@@Mavenfiction Doepfer should have put shrouded headers and surge protection into the spec. Even now, it's not too late but no one seems interested, Hey ho...

I gave you a thumbs up just for saying "nipple" I did enjoy the video, good advice.....

[@Mavenfiction]

😂 that’s the best thing about posting to KZbin… finding people who are equally as immature as me! Haha. Cheers for the comment and for watching.

There's module testers for under 20$ for fresh builds or unsure of it. But gotta get the wiring/ plug direction right...I'll tell you what, if I use a supplied cable that they wired backwards- they're replacing that shit. The ones I've gotten cables only fit one way, if I use the one that comes with it and it only goes one way- and blows it, I'm returning that bitch. But yea definitely gotta get that stuff right, we used something we call smoke stoppers when first connecting a battery to a drone.
