This might be dumb question, but does the Brass button have to be on as well as one of the String buttons to get any string sounds out of the Performer? Just pick up a used Performer and I don't think my string section is working... Aaron

Hi Aaron, The Brass button doesn't have to be on! By pressing one/both of the Strings buttons you should here the string sound. Which output do you use? Perhaps you accidentally used the seperate Brass output. Do the LEDs (of the Stringsbuttons) light up when you push them? This could be an indicitation the buttons don't work. The last option (is a stupid one, but just checking): Did you set the volume of the Strings section?

Hi Ridzert, I'm using the Main output and the both Strings LEDs light up. The Strings volume is also turned up--no difference from the Brass setting--also seems like the EQ switches don't do anything. Thanks for the confirmation. Looks like I need to take it to the shop. Can anyone suggest a repair shop in the San Francisco Bay Area? Aaron --- In crumar@yahoogroups.com, ridzert van der zee <ridzertz@y...> wrote: > Hi Aaron, > > The Brass button doesn't have to be on!

For me it seems that the Top Octave Generator (TDA1007 or SAA50240) is defect. There are replacement parts for such Chips, but they cost much money. Stef aaron_peters wrote:

Hmm... From "and I don't think my string section is working..." I would assume that the brass section IS working which would rule out the MK50240 (then all notes would be dead). Concerning TDA1008 there's one per voice so if one of them were dead you would lose just one note out of 12. As for availability, TDA1008 is pretty easily available costing <$10. So if the brass section is working the critical stuff (SSM 2040 and SSM 2050 in the later versions) are OK, the string section is just a bunch of 1458 and 741 opamps. "also seems like the EQ switches don't do anything" - they shouldn't. EQ only applies to string section. Best regards, Margus

Doesn\ufffdt have the Perfomer a separate VCO for Brass? Ok, my Multiman had (afaik, i\ufffdve trashed it one Year ago, i\ufffdm sorry for the wrong Chip-Manufacturers/Types) -only- a TDA1008 and a replacement part (even the 1008 was defect) would have cost more than 40 Euro here. I currently own a Siel Cruise and it has a separate (VCO?) for the Mono-Section and a MK50240 for the Poly-Section. The Poly-Section also didn\ufffdt made any sound, only a quiet opamp-1shot- noise while pressing a key, but that wasn\ufffdt a Malfunction of the 50240; there was a 4066 nearly the TOG which was defect....
