Rx11 no sound


 
Edited




Rx11 no sound. I cleaned the keys, replaced the battery, still no sound. I've tried factory settings and self-test mode, still no sound. Can you provide a little clue?


It's a miracle that I don't have any repair experience.
It turns out that broken transformer windings can cause a machine to have no sound. My transformer had been hurt by the previous owner and had 3 broken wires, which I carefully connected with tin solder, and the unthinkable happened - I heard sound.
Thank you all for your enthusiasm.


 

Hello Valeri,

Can you play it by sending MIDI-notes to it?

Thank you
Cannot be triggered via midi, cannot send midi via daw, and no sound.

Is it possible to operate the RX in general? Of course without sound, but is it possible for example to select patterns or to select a sound for a voice?

Yes, all buttons are responding properly.

I don't have an RX11, and haven't even seen one since the mid '80s, but there are some general things you might do to help the members of this group (who are generally quite helpful) to assist you.

Sometimes, when an item is very broken, it's helpful to list the things that the item *can* do, even down to simple tasks.? As an example:

  1. I can power the RX on, and everything lights up as expected.
  2. I can call up new programs/patterns/sequences with the buttons.
  3. I can enter the edit menu and make changes to a program.
  4. I can set and change the MIDI channel.
  5. If I press the following buttons, move sliders, etc. the display changes.
  6. If I press the following buttons, move slider, etc. the display DOES NOT change.
  7. etc.

This will help to sort whether the problem is likely digital hardware (CPU, ROM, etc.) or audio hardware (DAC, op-amps, etc.).? Can you provide this?


Regards,

ok, then we have quite likely a problem in the analogue audio path.

First stupid question: did you try the single outs? And did you try the Phones out? If yes for both and if there is no audio too:

If you have a voltmeter (and know how to handle it) then check the +15/-15V supply voltages.

And a shot into the mist: try to reseat the grey ribbon cable which connects to the single out pcb.

Thank you for your reminder, I am willing to provide this information and I am trying to collect it.thank you.


 

Yes I have tried these methods. But unfortunately I don't know how to use a voltmeter. Thank you all for your kind help.


 

Ok, so it looks you have to give it to a skilled technician.
