right if it is a poly board then get a replacement from syntuar but go for a asr10 polyboard as these never suffered from the same problem ive done this with vfx eps16+ and ts10
you can do it your self its an easy job to do takes about 2-3 hours for the transplant
and if you need help i can go through it with you
as for the ts go for the 10 as it has the same feel keyboard as the vfx
the ts12 has a fatar hammer action keyboard and only has mono aftertouch plus you have to change the gromets on them over time as they where out
but the coilboards dont as they work on magnetic feild harder you press the stronger the feild as the metal plate gets closer to the coil board
as for sound you can make every patch of the vfx on the ts10
as it is the same engine as the asr10 and eps16+ which the vfx is also
vfx is a eps16+ with out the sample engine but uses rom samples instead
i have done the sound set from my vfx
and have recreated the same transwaves plus the fizmo transwaves plus thousands of my own variations aswell as ppg
waldorfwave mwxt and the q wavetables and the largo synth tables
you have the ability of 6 layer and transwave synthesis including allwaves
but with the ts10 you can create any wavetable you want with what ever samples you want and set loop start and loop end
and even use the other loop modulation sorces to move loop start or position and as you can add asmany samples that the memory can hold 8mb thats a massive allwaves table

That would be great, but around me, the cheapest possible repair tech is at least $60 an hour. They always quote a MINIMUM of 2 hours. Then there's parts. So I'm looking at least at $120, plus if its a mother board (as I learned in another thread here) it could be $110, equalling $230.

There's a chance I might do this still, though, even if I get some replacement. Just because I hate having broken keyboards sitting around.

But I appreciate you "can do" attitude.
