2012-04-05 by scituate_mass
I should clarify: when I say VCA and VCF, I mean Yamaha IG00151 VCA and Yamaha IG00156 VCF, as used in the CS series. All of the organs I mentioned earlier

Hmmm, I wish I didn t have a pesky B2 blocking my E70 up against a wall so I could see. I think you may be right about DCO. The E70 stays in tune so well

I don t think the voice cards are the same at all. I think they use a similar topology but very different components and connections. For instance, I believe

Hi Robert, Personally I would rebuild the PSU - with new caps and IC s. And then I would set the voltages with the PSU seperate from the rest of the synth.
