Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

sd1 uses the same keybed as the eps16+ asr10 ts10

they all have split pcb keybeds joined by a soldered ribbon cable now instead of the connectors on the old versions theres 2 types theres the thru hole type which seem to be more reliable and theres the smd type these are the 1,s that have failed on the keybeds that i have repaired

  I thought SD-1s didnt have the two-piece keybed?

  The fix is soldering the keyboard connectors at the split.

  The quick fix at gigs if you have an error is to place both hands on the 
  center keys of the keyboard and press till you hear a creak that usually 
  fixes the keyboard error without rattling other things.

  Hi Folks,

  This has probably been addressed before...

  I was playing the other night and got the dreaded Keyboard Error message a 
  few times in a row after it recal'd. Being out on a gig I couldn't open the 
  keyboard and spray the connectors so I turned the SD-1 off and shook it a 
  few times. I then rebooted and the errors went away, unfortunately so did 
  some of the internal sounds. For instance: INT4 is now GREASE-PLUS 
  CRYSTALLY ' ' ' ' and INT5 is now MOOG-MUTE @@@@@@... anyway you get the 
  idea. Any thoughts on fixing this would be greatly appreciated.

  Best,

  /Dave
