Hi all, If you look at the pictures I posted of the mainframe, you'll see that this system isn't the late generation of MFX3, its probably the first generation of MFX (i.e seperate rack modules) which has later been upgraded to MFX3, it also has inputs for the music keyboard, pri

Hi, Arron, If you've got the right ROMS in the keyboard, you can pull the power lead off, then hold down * and D on the keypad, and connect the power again, to run some keyboard diagnostics, which will display through the keypad display. Make sure the keyboard is assembled enough

I've taken them apart a few times, it's been a while though, turn the keyboard upside down, take all the scews out around the perimeter, I think you have to be careful not to remove the large ones which sit underneath the keyboard, I'm pretty sure these release the keyboard seper
