Hi Im new to this group... Ive got an MS-20 which was working fine when i bought it, but has recently had a few functions fail on me. I was hoping people might have had similar experiences/ and or might be able to point me in the right direction because unfortunately in Sydney, where I live, analog synth repairers are either hard to find, or totally untrustworthy. (If anyone knows a good one - let me know please!) I'll try to give a detailed explanation of the problems: The keyboard was working normally and has now stopped working. It worked sporadically one day, then stopped all together. I can still still trigger the VCOs via CV/midi. When I press a key it still lights the EG2 LED as well..so Im thinking all is not lost for the keyboard. I took the synth apart and did some rudimentary resistance checks with a multi-meter along the keyboard - it all looks fine - its when it attaches to the main circuit board that I get lost and dont know what to check Also in the patching section the HPF and LPF patch points don't seem to work anymore, along with a few other patch points....I'd love to get this working again. The filters themselves work fine, just not the patching. I know it worked when I bought it, and then just stopped. Ive looked over the circuit board for dry solder joints too, but I stopped there. (I didn't find any) Apart from that , the machine works well - I love it.:) Thanks for reading this. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. R.
