Re: xpander dac
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Karl !Great post and good advice. Thx for compliments too. After 25 years using the Xpander, my experience is, it?s one of the most reliable machines I ever owned. The rotarys, some of the switches and the numeric keypad ( especially button #6) are the parts which become unreliable now but I hope it?s only because of dust or maybe because I didn?t use the switches and rotarys too much in the times I used software to manage/edit the Xpanders patches . In general: Are there any resources/parts numbers for the switches, keypads switches ? My music DAW died two weeks ago and I started to program my Xpander w/ it?s front panel controls again which was real fun, but I accidently overwrote patches while editing others by using button No.#6 of the keypad during storage,- and I forgot which ones I have overwritten accidently. I also need a new battery now and cannot find one actually. There was a dealer at ebay which I bookmarked for the battery, but now it?s gone unfortunally. Tuning page: I press "tune all",- autotune works and sometimes immediatedly shows "fail" on voice #1 I press "tune all" again, and the tuning procedure works as it should and all voices show "pass" on oscillators, filters, resonance, VCAs and PW. Is it a cap or is is it the switch ? Xpander is in perfect tune after using autotune and it?s also well in tune if I don?t use autotune at all b.t.w. Some time ago, you?ve sent me a PDF for a rotary replacement which possibly will work,- I lost ist because of a MFT error of one of my ext. USB2 HDs. Can you please mail me this PDF again ? thx in advance PeWe P.S.: For all the others here,- don?t panic. Dead OSCs, displays, processors and DACs are very rare cases of failure. I had ONE CEM multimode filter chip failure in 25 years and these are always available at technology transplant (ebay) and these aren?t expensive. I?ve had no other failure w/ my Xpander in 25years except these mentioned above. All my vintage machines, Moog, Roland, Yammies and Obies are much better built devices compared to what you can buy today new and they sound excellent up today. Karl schrieb:
