voice drop out

voice drop out

2004-10-20 by eightiescrisis

my matrix 1000 drops voices randomly. not a matter of polyphony, it just drops all the 
voices played on occasion.  

any thoughts on why this occurs?  is it the voice chips, midi, or otherwise?

thanks

What do you mean by dropped?

If you mean: audio  goes away, check your cableing from the M1000 to 
the amp.

My recently acquired Matrix1000 also drops a note (every 6th to be 
exact) in polyphonic mode.  I did a test and it seems voice #2 is 
faulty.  I've seen postings elsewhere that this is a common problem 
with these units and a chip needs to be replaced.  I know it's a 
Curtis chip but not the type, the number or availablity.  

Anyone else know more details?

Thanks,
Dan Levey

the chip you need is the curtis cem 3396.I had the same problem and 
solved it with a new chip.They turn up on ebay from time to time.
