Re: [oberheim] OB-Xa LED error code at boot time?

2014-10-01 by Florian Anwander

Thanks for the reply. We know these topics (I renovated a Xa completely 
once). The powersupply has been already remade two years ago and as far 
as I know he did a quite good job at cleaning the connectors at the same 
time. IC sockets and trimmers still are the old ones. Also the 
powersupply for the 4051s on one of the control boards is still the old one.

Nevertheless our question is: exists a document, that says something 
about the LEDs states while the boot up.
