Re: CS-80 loss of +8.5 and -6.5 voltage on PSU

2009-01-03 by galaxiesmerge

I would strongly recommend that you use a programmable or variable
multi-output bench power supply unit to ensure that your synth is
still in fact working.

However, first use a voltmeter and ohm-meter to test the synth for
shorts on the rails and the voltmeter to test your power supply outputs.

When working with PSU's, having a bench power supply is invaluable in
ensuring that your gear is actually working (i.e. that you have
decoupled your work on the PSU from work on the synth).

Cheers!
