No MIDI out on VFX

No MIDI out on VFX

2008-10-03 by micshac

Hi people

I`m sad to say my VFX no longer outputs MIDI.
Does anyone know of a UK company who fixes them?

Many thanks.

Hi,

There's no MIDI OUT only ? or both are not working (MID IN, MIDI OUT)

Probably the fail is the optocoupler 6N138, it's near to the MIDI
connectors. If you have some solder skills you can replace it. If not,
take it to your nearest technician.

good luck
