Hello again...
I've tried new earth wires, tried new earth points...now i'm wondering if the internal battery might be low on power and would this affect the sequencer speed?, on further investigation the speed slider does have an effect, but it is so slight...it goes from slow to very slow, and still the timing isnt regular.....could this mean i need a new KLM597b board? does anyone have a spare they would be willing to sell? or possibly a replacement ic chip whichever it is that has the sequencer clock...I dearly love this synth and the sequencer is a major part of its appeal for me....like i mentioned in an earlier post the sequencer runs fine when synced to midi.
any further thoughts would be massively appreciated.
thanks for all your help polyfans!
