Hey there,
I've had a board built using the following schematic, and everything is working great, CV control, pot controls, 8 step switch, everything sounds good.. EXCEPT the clipping led which seems to come on when it should be off, and off when it should be on.. So I fire it up, and without any inputs or outputs, on any program, the LED is on.. If I feed it a too-hot signal like an 8v AC square wave the led will go out. I'm attaching the schematic, does anyone have any ideas? Appreciate all the help I can get.
This is a eurorack module (+12V/-12V) that backpacks the FV-1 breakout from electrosmith which is basically the "typical application" circuit from the FV-1 datasheet.
Clipping Led working in reverse?

Clip LED is backwards and should be connected to +3.3V not ground. See FV-1 datasheet schematic.

Oh wow, of course it is!
Thank you, I don't know why I assumed.. Lesson for today.. Did you check the data sheet?
Thanks again.
