Vintage Synth Repair

Hey guys,

I just picked up a cheap Korg Micropreset. The whole keyboard works for most sounds, but a couple of patches don't make sounds, and the Synthe 1 and Synthe 2 preset sections are completely dead.

Anyone worked on these? Any suggestions for a diagnostic approach?


Thanks!

Jim

Do you have service manual? I can send you...

Don't forget http://www.korganalogue.net/ where you can find the service
manual and owner's manual, for example:

http://www.gotart.fr/bward/korgother/M500SPmanual/Korg%20Micropreset%20Service.pdf

Yes, I think I've got it from there.

Thanks for the service manual link. I really appreciate it.

I'll probably open up the synth later today. Hopefully it's just 
dirty connectors and other easy stuff.
