I just bidded at an auction and won. What I think is a Clavia DPP1.
So, when the parcel arrives I will know.
Meanwhile ... can anyone tell me some urban legends about this first (?) commercial product launched by Mr Nordelius et al?
It does not come with a power supply, but I think I've seen a statement about 20V DC. So I can fix that.
Also, there is not any sound cartridge included, but I'm hoping for an internal sound at least.
So exciting ... I'll tell you more over the coming weeks ...

NE3HP, NP88, NS2, DPP1, NL2X, NL2X, NLA1, NL4, NE5D, NW2 (Collect Them All?), some classic Rolands, Arturias, a Waldorf, a Kurz, a WONOK3, a pile of guitars, a P-bass, loopers, amps and computers ... I'm a gearslut!
Inserted two 9V batteries ... it kind of started and the LED lit up ... but no sound is triggered ...

But the sound level turned out very very low. Something is needed beyond my old multimeter, soldering iron and outdated brain.
I will contact Ricard (1h from where I live), and send the unit to him.
Perhaps it is the piezo sensor under the pad that needs replacing? Ricard and Kroffe will know ...
The heads of the screws closing the box were so damaged I had to drill them out. Lots of stuff inside. 1983?

If the output is low I would guess something has happened to the output stage, but of course it's never what you think it is. I wonder if it's possible to find the schematics for this thing.

Perhaps Kroffe knows where to aim that question?
