Re: [kawaisynths] K4 Volume Slider...help please

2014-04-05 by Brian Hintze

I ordered the exact part from Syntaur. All contact points line up with the circuit board for the volume slider, so I assumed it was the correct one.

In your opinion, is it the wrong slider or is it the capacitor as another person said? He said to replace the 100uF capacitor, because if its bad, then wont work as it acts as a ground for the slider.

Subject: [kawaisynths] K4 Volume Slider...help please

Hello all,

I recently purchased a K4. Good condition, except the volume slider
does nothing...all sounds seem at maximum volume.

I then replaced the slider with a new one from Syntaur...only the
slider, as they are out of the complete volume slider assembly.

The new slider still does not affect the volume, but......when all the
way down, sound from both left and right, but sounds kind of flat or
monophonic.

When you slide up the volume slider, then the sound starts to separate
and more stereo effect....weird, yes?

Any suggestions? Some where, something is messed up.

I can always edit the volume from within each sound, then save the
patch, but it's not the same...and would like the volume slider to work
as should.

ANY help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Brian
