hey folks, first of all thanks to all of you who helped me with my SRAM chip issue. i got a 5514, and the current draw is proper, it now holds the memory, no battery draining issues.
so i took this on the road, and the MG (LFO) section starting malfunctioning. issues:
-the RATE pot doesnt throw from roughly 0hz-10hz. it now goes from 0 to about 3 or 4hz midway and then back to 0hz at the end of the throw.
-the 3-way destination switch only works at VCF
-these malfunctions affect the presets. so any of the patches i had written that had VCO modulated by the MG are now rendered moot.
any ideas? i have had CMOS chips fail in other Korg instruments of this era; possibility? thanks alot for the help-rj
