Crumar Musical Instruments User Group.

The keyboard on my DS2 has a pitch problem. When the synth is first turned on, the 
notes in the lowest octave sound about five and a half steps lower than they should, 
the notes from B-flat up through the next octave sound the same pitch, and the top 
octave sounds about three octaves lower than it should, with the notes transposed 
down five and a half steps.

After about five minutes, the lower two octaves sound correct pitches, but the 
top octave still sounds three octaves lower, and the pitches are transposed down five 
and a half steps.

Does anyone have any ideas what could be up?  Someone recently sold a DS1 on eBay 
that had a similar problem, so apparently this problem is not unique. 

Thanks.

Chris

Hi Chris, 

I recently bought that one on Ebay. 

I will let you know what the problem was once I get it
back from the shop.

Hi.  Just take the board in the far back on the left, remove it and 
replace the 14532 chips.  They're cheap, so replace them all.  It's a 
$5 fix.

The Motorola MC14532BCP works great.

Really, 

Is that all it is? Thanks a mil for the advice. I will
be doing that when I get it. I will post back later!

Cheers,

That's why I was trying to get that DS1!  The guy selling it wouldn't 
ship to Canada, though.

"Microsoft Windows is cruel and unusable punishment."

Thanks, Andrew. You may have saved a few DS1s and DS2s from being junked.

I'll give the fix a try and report back with my findings.

All the best,

Chris
