RE: VFX crackles and Rotary Speaker Error 32

2013-11-02 by <tomas_peterka@...>

I´ve replaced the battery and the Error 32 seems to be solved ... strange, both rotary speaker DSP algorithms seems to work OK now.


The envelope pops persist ... seems to be an OS problem in my opinion. I have unfortunately no chance to check the same sounds on a different machine (my friend´s VFX-SD broke yesterday .... no sound output at all).


Anyway does anybody have the image of the OS 2.30 EPROMs. Route66 have not responsed to my mail order :( I can make the EPROMs myself, but I do not have the bin files.

I've never had that problem before. Sounds like you may have some chips that may be going bad. I would open it up and clean it out and make sure that the chips are seated correctly.

I would also perform a hard reset and see what happens.

Grace,
Harry
