Re: [xpantastic] Xpander is skipping a voice

2012-03-05 by Karl Schmeer

Hi Steve,

From what I understand, the Xpander will turn the voice off if it fails tuning.  
You can turn it back on in the master page if you need to.
Unfortunately I believe you have a hardware problem.  The good news is, it's 
probably an electrolytic capacitor in the voice 3 circuit. 
The usual suspect here is C549 a 2.2 uF 50 VDC electrolytic capacitor.
BTW
Given the vintage of these synths it's a good idea to recap the whole thing if 
possible.


Best Luck
