Well, i would suggest you to check out Midi-OX, a fantasic program for
SysEX-Files and Midi-Monitoring. It's possible to check out with a
speaker the signals itself, specially those which are coming from the
CPU-Board in order to find out where the problem is, but that's too
complex to explain. No sound can come from everything: Defect DCO's,
VCA's, VCF's..or a simple defect Volume potentiometer. The VCA can be
tested relative simple: Just turn the Volume 100% on the DW and 100% on
your amplifier (as loud as possible, so you'll only hear some backroudn
noise from the amplifier), then press a key on the DW. If you hear a
quiet "noise-shot", then the VCA's should be ok; maybe you'll even hear
a quiet sound from the VCO's. If the VCA won't work Even check out the
System Parameters #87 and #88, as far as i remember, one of them make
the play-range of the keyboard. Midi-OX has afair also a simple built-in
keyboard, just try to play a Midi-note to your DW.
While loading the tape files, do you see that the DW begins to write the
values into the memory (the DW -must- run/display -by itself- through
the programs 11-88 and some parameter Values while loading the wave
file)? If not, check out if your PC is loud enough while playback.
