Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] RE: VFX crackles and Rotary Speaker Error 32

2013-11-03 by Daniel Forró

I've seen 2.10 only here:

http://www.buchty.net/ensoniq/

or here:

http://www.musictechnologiesgroup.com/mtg_eproms.htm

Try to make 2.10 Eproms, if it worked before, it should work again. Or the problem is not in OS.

What about your friend's VFX - which OS?

Such old instruments also need more maintenance - reseating all IC's in sockets, changing electrolytic (and tantalum) caps minimally in PSU, checking and cleaning all connectors, changing EL foil in LCD (if any) or whole display...

Good luck!

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.
