OB8 reset Problem
2006-03-07 by luke_g01
Hi all. Just wondering whether anyone has ever experienced a problem with the OB8 resetting itself. I have recently had the OB8 overhauled replacing an oscillator chip on the 7th voice and several minor repairs. Everything was working perfect until today. I saved the current patches onto tape and within 5 minutes the OB8 started resetting itself (as if you were turning the power on an off) and then goes through the autotune process. I had this problem before I had it serviced when I loaded the factory banks back on. It actualy got to the point where it would reset and lock up where I could not get any functionality out of it. I just assumed it was related to the 7th voice problems and maybe the power supply (which was actually low and is now fixed) I don't know whether the Tape function is adding to the problem or is just a coincidence. The OB8 would originaly reset maybe once a week before I used the Tape function for the first Time. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The tech who worked on it could not pin point the problem. Cheers Luke
