Re: My DX-7 killed my Emax.

2006-12-07 by c64izraw

Hello again everyone.

I cleared the memory and sounds on the sp-12 and still nothing. This
unit functions perfectly but as stated before, there is no sound / the
sample input is at max volume. I also hear a humming noise now that I
test it again.

I checked both fuses on the emax and they look to be complete, ie not
broken. Does this matter and should I still buy new fuses regardless?
Also, if it is a power supply issue what would I have to do to fix it
/ find a new one? 

As asked before, what happened to EPS?

Thanks again everyone.

-John
