Calibration Error

2005-09-13 by Fabio D. García

Hi,

I don't know what's wrong.

A couple of week ago, I started to receive calibration errors. For example when press one key to control a virtual synth, the virtual synth receives two or more keys. When I try to re-start the VFX-SD I get an error to calibrate or ignore. I press on calibrate but it keep with the same message.

I decided to open to see for the hardwiring solution and I found that both cards are hardwire very well. I clean up here and there.

After that, keyboard works OK but later, I get that error again.

Some of you guys, have this experience? It could be it have to do with MIDI issues and virtual synth?

Any advice is welcome.

All the best,

Fabio

Still sounds like in the keyboard sensors/electronics.  Don't know if you have read this:

or this

I have also read that besides soldering the interconnecting cables, they cleaned the key contacts and no longer had problems.

I myself have been luck, knock on wood, with my VFX never erring, crashing or locking up......so the failure is not inevitable......or maybe it is......
