I purchased the DK600 for $50 at a small shop almost a year ago, and determining that the backup battery was fine (I actually just removed it for safety's sake), everything seemed to work fine except the panel buttons (all knobs work perfectly). Here's what I figured out: Every time a button is pressed, the synth resets. Resets to what? I'm not sure if it's a preset or not: a slow attack, a fast LFO, and a lot of the Noise turned up. There is a "button" on the main PCB for a manual reset. If you've seen it, it is just two points that you use a multimeter in diode mode to connect. This resets the synth exactly as if I had pressed a button. What I'm thinking is that anytime a button is pressed it is somehow traveling to the CPU chip (IC1) and a signal is sent to pin 14 which triggers the reset (I'm sure this is an oversimplification, but this is what I'm picturing in my head). What do you think? If Analog/Digital hybrids aren't really discussed here, just let me know :) Sam
