Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] VFX WIGGS OUT on GIG HELP

2004-05-18 by Ellen Rizzo

Hello, Tim.  This has happenened to me with my vfx-sd as well.  Over a long 
period of time it just got worse and worse.  Very unpredicable behavior.  
Now the keyboard is non-functional, but the unit does sequence from other 
midi input, and the disk drive is OK, so I can store and move stuff to and 
from disk and cartridge.  Sometimes the sequencer still plays, but sends 
random sounds via midi to other devices.  Sometimes it's trouble free.  In 
my case, it was the motherboard.  The "keyboard fix" has been done, but my 
machine is too far gone.  I would be interested in ideas from anyone of 
where to find motherboards at this time...
