    388. Fast-forwards, Rewinds, but Doesn't Play

    It was working fine a few days ago, and last time I looked at the drive belt it was also fine. What could be going on?

    How Were 388s Originally Shipped To Stores?

    Wait. The 688 is heavier than the 388? How is that even possible? It must have its own micro-gravitational field

    How Were 388s Originally Shipped To Stores?

    I can't imagine a cardboard box and polystyrene would be sufficient to support all that weight. :unsure:

    Using The 388 Aux Buss As A PFL

    Fiddly, but it does actually work. Try it! :D I'm going to respect everyone's intelligence and assume you don't need a step by step guide.

    The Fun Never Ends With My 388 Misadventures

    Now that my 388 is finally fully operational again (well, at least it's printing signal) it seems like this thread should be labelled SOLVED. But I can't see that option. Also... Would anyone like to hazard a guess as to what actually solved the issue? Mine would be that the issue was caused...

    Successfully Striped FSK Code With The MTS-30 To Track 8. Now what?

    The 388 has a dbx defeat switch on the back of the unit. As for the sound of FSK, turns out you need to have the gain turned up on the monitor channel for track 8 turned up if you want to enjoy it :D

    Successfully Striped FSK Code With The MTS-30 To Track 8. Now what?

    Weirdly the dial up Modem sound has vanished when I went to lay down a time code for a second song but it still striped the FSK code. Is this normal behaviour? Thinking this is @jpmorris's area of expertise

    Yeah, I'd forgotten that. Whoops. :o Also. The 388 is fully functional again.

    RX8 MIDI OUT —> MTS30 MIDI IN Check MTS30 MIDI OUT —> RX8 MIDI IN Check MTS30 TAPE OUT —> 388 BUSS IN 8 Check 388 TAPE OUT 8 —> MTS30 TAPE IN . Oooh. That didn't occur to me. You're right, I'm an idiot. Tape out is the way to go. Thanks :D

    Successfully Striped FSK Code With The MTS-30 To Track 8. Now what?

    I want the song I've printed the time code for to start playing on the drum machine when I press play on the 388. This seems like something that the RX8 should be able to do.

    Successfully Striped FSK Code With The MTS-30 To Track 8. Now what?

    For some reason it's not triggering my drum machine. I've definitely set the drum machine to receive MIDI but nothing is happening. What am I missing?

    The Fun Never Ends With My 388 Misadventures

    It's working again! Erase. Yes! Record. Yes! Playback. Yes! I'm not sure what changed but maybe having the Molex sockets for the record arm LEDs had some effect.

    The Fun Never Ends With My 388 Misadventures

    That was about the master gain pots for aux and effects on the monitor buss, I didn't know enough to be able to answer your questions and that lead to me getting frustrated and losing my temper. Also, I couldn't find the questions in the private conversation we had so I assume it happened in...

    The Fun Never Ends With My 388 Misadventures

    Sourcing a replacement is a nightmare. The only people who have the RK163 series are Mouser and they charge insane shipping (for £15 it'd better come on a velvet pillow in a gold plated case)
