Hi Emulator Island ! 
you're absolutely fantastic !!!!  Many thanks ! from me and my emulator II !!!

how do you know that ? i did what you said, pulling them off carefully, cleaning, and put it back, cleaned everything i could all arround, on the boards, and it works fine since 15 minutes now ! 
how do you know that ? i'm so lucky ! 

i'm not sure to understand what you mean about the cycle counting for the voice. Anyway, it works ! 

i've noticed something, maybe is it important ? there's abolutely no chip on C97   C147   C57 and  C159 ... ( ??? ) 

i wonder where i could buy some chips, for some replacements. and how could i know the purpose of each C or IC ? when i have a problem, is there a way to determine it, and know wich IC or C is wrong on the boards ? 

I'd like to try the HXC floppy drive emulator, as i've seen it working on a dpx-1, and save all my samples. one of my floppy drives doesn't work,or doesn't recognize the floppys. i didn't try to clean it, i wonder if it can be saved. 

this emulator II belonged to the keyboard player of the group "Berlin", ( top gun theme song ) , and was used by Don Henley, used for "building the perfect beast album. I still got the big anvil case with "don henley written in white on it. 

You've saved it !
i'll post your message on the board, if it brings any help.

Hi, it seems your problem is the AMIS3528 (low pass) chips located just below the SSM2045 chips (C87-C94).. and there is also an S3528 at IC86 for the mix output. Try re-seating/cleaning the IC contacts/socket, this may rejuvenate the problem chip/s. It is common for these S3528 chips to be a suspect with a "warmed-up" EII experiencing voice problems. Usually when a voice chip fails, it will be evident immediately upon power-up/play on a "cold" EII. So far, have you isolated the problem voice/s by cycle-counting the voices w/ each key pressing, or by using the individual outs? The voices on the actual digital board would be as follows: 1 (J8) 2 (J7) 3 (J6) 4 (J5) 5 (J4) 6 (J3) 7 (J2) 8 (J1) mix output (J9)

Cheers, emulator_island
