Hi folks,

A few years ago now, soon after I bought it, I got the 120v / 240v thing wrong and the fuse blew.

I got a new fuse and everything sounded fine. But I still wonder if it ever sounded better!

Is it possible for the voice chips to blow if the fuse went?

I note that nothing else went wrong - the CPU or RAM etc - so why the voice chips?

My last point is I had it serviced 2 years ago and he said it was fine.

Does anyone think it blew the voice chips, or am I just dialing up rubbish patches?

Cheers,

Jeremy.

You had it serviced since the fuse blew?

The fuse is there to protect the rest of the circuitry, so it’s unlikely anything else was damaged. If by some chance that voltage did get through, I imagine it would have caused a catastrophic failure, like frying the PSU.

What specifically are you hearing? When you play a standard patch, does each note sound pretty much the same? ?In the extremely rare chance there was damage to the voices, it’s very unlikely that all six voices would have been damaged in the same way. I suppose damage to something later down the chain like the output amps could affect to overall sound, but again that’s probably unlikely.?

Yes.

True.

They sound the same, but in a bad way.

Also true.

Well, I'll have to play around with it some more, and load up factory (or other bank) patches and see how they sound.

I'll post here if it goes okay.

Cheers,

Jeremy.
