I think i have another problem here, not related with battery leak,
i just uploaded some photos , not very good quality, but the battery
seems to be sealed, and the programmer is working despite some press
memory recall buttons need cleaning or replacing. Well , the synth
sound has some distortion and sounds like ring modulation, this is
minimized if the negative/positive VCF EG Intensity is full
clockwise. The preset sounds are like no envelope sustain , just a
short low (frequency) click...well, i'm not a keyboard technician ,
just trying to make something here, otherwise i will have to take
the synth and schematics to a friend who is a technician (works in
musical instruments, not vintage ones but...) and try to put this
synth to play...have to say the brass and strings sections are ok,
the split keyboard function switches and behavior are ok, bend and
mod ok...well...lets see
