Bizarre behaviour solved, anotehr reported..

[Chris Crosskey]

Hi folks..

In the unlikely event any of you ever get a Kawai S100F (not S100P) and it 
dwevelops a habit of not responding  to the keyboard gate circuit, don't 
spensd weeks probing round the note-change detection circuit....check the 
LFO for an open circuit.......That;'s what's just been fixed on mine....I 
say it's unliely you'll ever own one (lket alone have it go wrong) cos 
they'rwe so damn rare...mine is one of only two that I know of, the otehr 
is in France (and it used to be in Italy....


New bizarre behaviour report...my M6R won't make a noise unless it's just 
been initialised (power up holding down the STORE button, release the store 
button)...if it's just initialised, patch 00 plays fine....change patch, no 
sound, change back to 00, no sound, re-initialise and you get patch 
00....The MIDI assignment appears to be working cos the front panel bits in 
the display are lighting up (and it plays when initialised) and the sound 
generation circuit is obviously OK....any ideas anyone?....I phoned round 
several synth-fix shops, and although it is a far from common synth, they 
all had two or three M6R's in, all wioth different problems....I've been in 
mine and it seems well built enough, but there's a lot of stuff in 
there....It's taking SYSEX OK, you can reprogram it from the front panel 
and like I said it's working when initialised, but not otherwise....
