Hardware status

Today I made an attempt to incorporate the Korg MS-50 that has been hiding under a desk for a long time but sadly time doesn't heal all wounds - it still makes a loud humming noise that is not supposed to be there. I have made contact with a very talented technician to try and fix it and since these old machines are basically just a bunch of more or less standard components it shouldn't be too hard to figure out what's wrong...

So in the meantime I will plug my Korg VC-10 vocoder into the setup that is currently the following more or less obsolete equipment:

2 x Korg MS-20 with different filters
2 x Korg MS-10
1 x Casio CZ-1000 digital synthesizer
1 x Korg SQ-10 analog sequencer
1 x Fricke MFB512 rhythm box

On a more personal level: I went for a long walk with the Electric Fantastic Sound PR manager today: 7268 steps to be exact. Burned some 455 calories as well! :-)

Förmodligen behöver du byta kodningar i nätdelen, ev byta stabbarna pckså . MS-serien använder enkla 78/7915 så det är lätt och billigt att byta.

Min 50 hummar också, dessutom i takt med LFOn vilket definitivt pekar på ett ett problem med PSUn.

Jag har hittat en gammal servicemanual till MS-50 som jag tänker skicka med burken när den ska på service, men tack för tipset!

Det var alldeles för länge sen jag skruvade och lödade själv - nu lämnar jag med glädje över det till folk som vet vad de gör! :-)
