OBERHEIM SYNTH

I reported here the same problem some months ago, and I am sure some other users has the same trouble. I didn't try to change the memory backup battery yet, thing that probably could work if it is too old. I suggest You to try this option before trying to search a broken voice chip.Please let me know if You have success in changing the battery only.
Best wishes,
Francesco.

      I just got a Matrix 1000, seems great, but I have voice issues in some patches, occasionally I'll come across a patch where two voices are a lot quieter or seem thinner or don't play. Other than that it seems to be working fine about 95% of the time.



There was one patch where lots seemed kind of messed up, maybe that was the patch though (984) doesn't play up high in the register some don't play some seem thin.



Is this usually fixed by replacing the CEM3396 chips? is there a diagnostic to figure out which need to be replaced, or is it just advisable to replace them all if you're having trouble? Or is this something completely different?



Thanks in advance!
