I will add that the SDSV is great to work on if you never need to work on anything but the cards ! i had to save an enclosure last year and the boards were riveted to the chassis! You also need to desolder a 20+ pin header that connects the mix/power board to the back board thats riveted to the chassis. total PITA. Once you are there you had better do all the caps and such because it's total bullshart. I actually popped the rivets and used screws and detachable headers so the unit will come apart in 20 years when it's time for another cap job. lol.

The SDS-8 was pretty bad and the SDS-9 is not much different... Ever been inside a Roland SH-101? 32 screws on such a basic synth. ;) And I think both the SDS-III and SDS-IV are a delight to get into. They even stand wll "undressed" for testing. But yes, I got the point! :D -- electronically yours, jesper - -- --- ---- ----- ---- --- -- - www.electronic-obsession.se
