Well, i would suggest you to check out Midi-OX, a fantasic program for SysEX-Files and Midi-Monitoring. It's possible to check out with a speaker the signals itself, specially those which are coming from the CPU-Board in order to find out where the problem is, but that's too complex to explain. No sound can come from everything: Defect DCO's, VCA's, VCF's..or a simple defect Volume potentiometer. The VCA can be tested relative simple: Just turn the Volume 100% on the DW and 100% on your amplifier (as loud as possible, so you'll only hear some backroudn noise from the amplifier), then press a key on the DW. If you hear a quiet "noise-shot", then the VCA's should be ok; maybe you'll even hear a quiet sound from the VCO's. If the VCA won't work Even check out the System Parameters #87 and #88, as far as i remember, one of them make the play-range of the keyboard. Midi-OX has afair also a simple built-in keyboard, just try to play a Midi-note to your DW. While loading the tape files, do you see that the DW begins to write the values into the memory (the DW -must- run/display -by itself- through the programs 11-88 and some parameter Values while loading the wave file)? If not, check out if your PC is loud enough while playback. Greetings Stef altamontunion schrieb: > Well, I've just about given up.
