Cheers chaps,
unfortunately I'm in Sheffield, U.K. so the Stateside options are out really.
It's the fully loaded version with large (for then) hard drive, 3 snares, 4 cymbals,
God knows how many toms (they're stored in cupboards all over the place) and like
I said, originally, 3 bass drums. I remember feeling I was just starting to get on top
of the bugger... Songs had to be recorded in 2 parts because the Atari would clog up
after 2.5-3 minutes with the amount of information the pads threw out, but it freed
up tape channels, and we only had 8! - when it failed all the work I'd programmed
with it ended up triggering an Alesis D4, losing all the subtlety...
(as can be heard at
http://www.myspace.com/mojopin95 if anyone is interested, Ha)
From what I remember it booted up OK, but then, after 30-60 seconds the monitor
went blank (black) and a horrible whine ensued.
I switched it off and on again only to have the same thing happen, and about
a fortnight later I confirmed it hadn't been a bad dream by repeating the process.Not being a technical over achiever that pretty much had me stumped and I
haven't trusted anyone enough to let them just rummage around inside the thing.
I think my best bet is Patrice and buying the schematics, it would be a good starting
point for the couple of people I trust with solder and amp meters, & it would be
great to have it back in the studio - even after all these years,...
I'm not looking forward to ploughing through the manual again though :)
Thanks again,
Rod. ...unless there's a U.K. based SDX boffin ???
