Midi Clock

Midi Clock

2004-02-14 by bobratica1020

Does anyone have a Korg D8 recorder, and if they do do they know how 
to link the midi clocks with the vfx as the master. I was able to to 
it with the D8 as the master, but not with the vfx as the master.

Squeaky keys...

2004-02-14 by Clayton Lewis

I love my TS 12... and I just pulled it out of the back closet because 
I finally moved into my new studio space with plenty of room for it.

some of the keys squeak when I press on them.... not that it matters 
during sequencing but it become annoying over time..

what's the best way to remedy this problem. I'm not against opening it 
up but I want to know what cleaning solution/solvent is best to use and 
which parts should I be cleaning...


Thanks

Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] Squeaky keys...

Clayton,

The best thing I've found to get rid of squeaky keys
is dry graphite powder. You'll need to apply it on the
felt strip of each key where they contact the weights
that simulate the hammer action. I originally tried
cleaning the keys and then using silicone spray which
only temporarily fixed the problem. It has now been
over two years since applying the graphite on my own
TS-12 which remains squeakless!
