Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

pleasant day to everyone... am having a trouble in my keyboard
previous errors that i have is a recalibration error then this error
adds system error 32 or 33 please help thank you..

This is a common problem with these keyboards, and you'll find a lot 
of posts about it here if you do a search.

The usual solution is a circuit-board repair described in the 
document "VFX Cal Repair" in the Files section, under Tools and 
Service -> Poly board separation fix.

Some people also seem to have been able to get away with using 
contact cleaner. Other suggestions you might find on the Internet 
such as twisting the keyboard or leaning heavily on the keys are not 
recommended!

I've never seen a VFX or related keyboard that *hasn't* had the repair 
done, and now I hear of two in a week...

The fiddly part is getting the keys off.  It's probably worth taking the 
time to give all the keys a good clean, if the instrument has been 
heavily used.
