Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] Overheating

2001-03-21 by Bill Wilcox

We have the answers because we learned 'em the hard way.  Yep, Ensoniq heat sinks get hot.  Best procedure is an air conditioned studio (not trying to be a smart alec...)  and a small fan aimed at the heat sink to draw off the heat.  Lots of ventilation is the best course of action.  I've never noticed a tuning fluctuation, but it's certainly possible.  I've noticed erratic timekeeping by the sequencer when it gets really warm.  Try the fan thing.

You guyz seem to have all the answers :) Here's another question for 
you: my VXF-SD seems to be overheating - at least the heat sink gets 
extremely hot within 20 minutes of powering up. And unless I'm 
mistaken, this is causing a fluctuation in the tuning. Is there a 
known fix for this or is it a 'fan & ice' situation? Thanks in 
advance.
