<DIV><FONT color=#000000><FONT size=4>I realize this may be a bit off-topic, but
I'm having a real problem with my MIDI controller, and the local techs (HOUSTON,
TX) aren't willing to deal with the unit because the manufacturer (Cheetah) is
no longer in business.</FONT></FONT><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000><FONT size=4>From what I've seen, the keyboard is VERY
similar to the Fatar 88 key weighted controllers that are now available. I
have all specs, schematics, etc. and would appreciate it greatly if somebody
could:</FONT></FONT><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<OL>
<LI><FONT color=#000000><FONT size=4>Tell me who bought Cheetah and is
providing service for the products (if such a situation
exists)</FONT></FONT><FONT size=4></FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT color=#000000><FONT size=4>Turn me on to a technician who is not
too intimidated to work on the keyboard</FONT></FONT><FONT

<LI><FONT color=#000000><FONT size=4>Fix it (the best of
all)</FONT></FONT><FONT size=4></FONT></LI></OL>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000><FONT size=4>I'll ship, I'll drive it to another city,
I'll do anything except my current only option, which is to throw it away.
Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated.</FONT></FONT><FONT

<DIV><FONT color=#000000><FONT size=4>I won't go into the problem here, to avoid
tying up the DIY message board, but I'll be happy to provide details to any
interested parties. I will say that despite the fact that the last tech to
look at it diagnosed my problem as mechanical, I think that is wrong. My
feeling is that there is a bad chip, corrupted memory, or something of that
nature.</FONT></FONT><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>

of you engineers can help me, I'd be forever in your debt.</FONT></DIV>
