Subject: RE: [yamahacs80] Need help on KAS board for GX-1

From: "Colin f" <colin@...>

Kenji,

I have the full service manual for the GX-1. If you need them, I can send
you the schematics for the KAS.
I designed a MIDI-enabled replacement KAS. Take a look here:
http://www.sequentix.com/gx1/

I have the two original KAS boards taken from the GX I designed the MIDI
retrofit for.
If you are not interested in adding MIDI, and it turns out you have any
failed (and unobtainable) Yamaha ICs, I could ask the owner if he might sell
them.
I also have a MIDI-enabled Tone Board replacement for solid-state patch
storage and MIDI editing that is just about finished.

Your description of 2 octaves out of 5 being correct suggests a failed 4051,
IC19.
That is the analogue switch that selects the octave reference for the
semitone DAC.

Best regards,
