Re: re-seating IC's
This sounds to me more like a PSU that is starting to show signs of degradation. I've had a US Xpander now for over 12-years, and just last year it developed a somewhat similar issue (delayed

Re: re-seating IC's
This is relatively common on any electronic equipment with socketed chips. Slight oxidation over time will disrupt the connections, and you only need one pin to start being temperamental before the

Re: re-seating IC's
This all sounds incredibly familiar. Literally an hour ago my Japanese XPander crashed and failed to boot. I opened it up, give each chip a push and now it works. I don't actually remove the chips

re-seating IC's
Hi, I'm posting to share some of my experiences in case they are of use to others. I own a US-made Xpander for about 6 years now. It seems that once every few years I see issues where the Xpander

A request to Xpander owners

Re: Matrix 12 battery replacement
Ah cool! thanks for the advice, was on to a tech here in Ireland but couldn't give an indication as to when he would be free to take a look at it , so took a look myself... and hey ho! worked like a

Removing the Xpander battery
Hi , I don't remember when I last replaced the battery in my Xpander, and I wasn't smart enough to write the replacement date near the battery. I'm thinking about just cutting the leads for now,

Re: Matrix 12 battery replacement
It's not a good idea to make a connection without going through the board. The solder joint is both an electrical connection and a mechanical connection. If the joint is too small you put strain on

Re: Matrix-12 Service Routine Questions
If autotune passes but oscillators sound out of tune, then the first thing that comes to mind is a wonky patch. Are they out of tune when you play an init patch? (On the Xpander that is Clear+Store,

Re: Matrix-12 Service Routine Questions
The first thing I suspected was the DAC. So I already did a swap with a working one from OB-8 (the same chip). Nothing has changed. The next things I'm gonna check are U805, U814, U815.

Re: Matrix-12 Service Routine Questions
Hi, This is just a guess, but a bad DAC could cause that sort of problem. They tend to fail with one bit stuck either high or low - if a low-order bit has failed then the autotune would probably have

Re: Matrix-12 Service Routine Questions
Thanks, Steve ! It worked. One more quick question. On upper voice board all rountines pass autotune, but oscillators still sound out of tune. Some of the voices are semitone higher than the

Re: Matrix-12 Service Routine Questions
Hi, I faced the same problem a few weeks ago and posted the solution back then. Obviously it would make sense for the M12 to zero the output of both voice card DACs when you engage the DAC OFFSET

Re: Matrix-12 Service Routine Questions
(2) DAC OFFSET service routine only works with lower voice board. How to adjust DAC offset on upper voice board? Is it true ?

Re: Info "to" look for
Use an init patch (clear+store) when testing, then you know for sure it won't respond to velocity, aftertouch. Just note on/off. Try the stereo outs and the mono out. Try panning all voices hard left
