Re: SX210 stuck note problem - any help appreciated

2008-03-23 by gil_we

If the stuck note happens every 8 notes played, than it is a specific 
voice (oscillator) related problem, probably a bad IC in the envelope 
section.

You need to determine which voice is the one which the problem lays 
in. Most of the times, when you power the unit up and start playing, 
the first note played will get directed to the first voice, the 
second note to the second voice etc. 

I already had 2 bad 4066 chips in mine, so I bet on a bad 4066 in 
yours as well. You will need to get (or purchase) a schematic manual, 
or just go over with an audio scope and try to find the bad IC.
