Voice 0 processor malfunction
Hi folks, hope all is well with yourselves and your obies? just chiming in to ask a Q.... was playing my 12 yesterday, i left it for about 10 mins to go do something out of the studio and when i came back to it i noticed that it had frozen on me. well partially at least. i power cycled the synth and got a "voice 0 processor malfunction" msg on screen.... now im kinda stuck in multi patch mode (last mode it was in), wont switch to single mode at all for programming, synth still triggers voices and outputs sound , i can also access the tune page and the tuning process runs fine and everything pass's fine,? i can switch to the main master menu but cant access any of the available menus or page 2 menus to test ram / vram / leds / voices diagnostics etc - error msg makes sense in that context. i intend to open the synth up later today just to have a quick look and to check connections and ribbons to / from the processor board, i have the synthtaste power supply and the benden displays installed, everything has been brill on the board up until yesterday... so any ideas.....? are we talking replacing ram ic's (6116)'s on the processor board?? hoping to not have to test / replace all 16 ram ic's on the board. maybe its just one that's causing the lockouts? voice 0 or A0 is processed by all 16 ram ic's according to the schematics. ? Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated. keep up the good work - Dave

Anyway folks back up and running!! opened up the synth and had a good look around, checked all connections from voice / psu / processor board.... for a split second even thought that the? 68b09 chip might be the culprit as its known to be a cause of mem corruption although not as common as you might think.... the 6116's looked fine some newer than others but no visual defects, its actually a very tidy synth on the inside... closed her back up and done a hard mem reset (sure nothing to lose except my mind) haha...? power cycled and back into the diagnostics page, ran all the tests and tuning protocols.. five pass's! and still have my patches.... i am going to back them up again this week... cause that's nearly fifteen years of programming going on there! what a synth! so organic! i swear there's blood running though it! - Happy Irish GuY??? :)))

You definitely want to back up those patches, yes. I had issues early on when I got my Xpander (2016 I think) where the memory would get corrupted, machine wouldn't boot etc. It stopped after I unseated/reseated all my RAM IC's a couple of times (which is a sure fire way to lose your patches). My guess is it was corrosion in the IC sockets which got scraped off by reseating.
