SX-210 - someone, who has schematics for syn-43 board?

2007-03-28 by claudio

Hello,

I've got a corrupt SX-210 synth, and it wasn't the battery leakage
issue . Ok, battery is defective, too but seems, there's something
wrong with the sound board.

When I press a note on the keyboard, a the sound is somehow digitally
distorted, I can identify the instrument selected, but it sounds
awful. This phenomenon reduces but doesn't vanish, when I change the
LFO speed to nearly "00".
I took my oscilloscope to the test points of the single voices: noise
is  white, filters are working and each oscillator seems okay (clear
sine or triangle... wave), the voices downmix from oscillator section
is fine, too. 
BUT: If I measure the sound output before it reaches the "Ensemble"
board (the brown one left to the syn42) it is disorted. The waveform
looks, as if the audio-signal is modulated upon some random amplitude
rectangle pulse waveform at a continously changing frequency between
about 10 to 50 Hz. This looks very digital... and changes with
LFO-depth and speed. 
Where the F*ck is the LFO section? the only sections left on sound
board are four TC4051 multiplexers with opamps... guess they do some
signal mixing and switching...

Anyone schematics or ideas?

thank and best regs,

claudio
