Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Might have just crashed because it got to hot. My VFX-SD has done that before, though maybe not in that exact way. I put an old computer cooling fan on the heat sink and now I can leave it on 24/7 no problem. It's amazingly stable when you add a little cooling.

      hi guys (and girls?! are there girls here?! don't know...),

I was jamming in my studio; after two hours circa I heard a 'boom' through my studio monitors, and guess what!?, my sd-1 display was black...

I turned the power off and on again to see what was going on, and the display was working again, so I played 2/3 notes just to be sure it was still making sounds, then I switched it off because I was a bit scared by what had just happened...



of course the zone near the psu was hot as hell (just the way it always is), so I guess I should not let it powered on unless I really need to use it (I wasn't even playing it today...)



so, what did happen?! a fuse blown?! 



I have yet to open it, so I guess I should be looking for something in particular, given the facts I just described... 

I'm no technician at all, but I think I could easily change blown fuse(s)



greetings
