Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Hi all,

Was hoping someone could help me out here.  My SD-1, when left on for a
while, heats up
enough to fry an egg on it (well, almost) anyway, this is usually around the
time that it occassionaly
wigs out.  My question is, is this just the way the SD-1 is, or should it
still function normally even
when hot.  One more question, should it be so hot or is my keyboard in need
of servicing?
Any info is greatly apprecaited.  Thanks.

Michael

FYI - My VFX-SD always did the same thing, it would get smoking hot.  

It even seemed to crash more when it got hot.  So I put a little 
clamp fan on the desk with it pointed at the cooling fins and voila.  
No crashing and reduced heat.  Seems it should have had a blower on 
it when manufactured if you ask me.

Thanks Craig for the great advice.  Think I'll invest in a small fan asap.
So I take it this excessive
heat is normal for the keyboard?

Mine has always run hot.  I am not sure about normal
but I think you will find your board will stabilize a
lot by helping it along.
