Capacitors

By |2022-03-10T10:26:48+00:00March 10th, 2022|Categories: Technics Instruments|

On my sx-KN5000 I have a key that is not playing a sound although strangely enough if I press the key right at the back end )nearest to the black cover it does sound. This points I think to a faulty key action. I therefore for want to open up the unit and have a look but I think it contains two capacitors which of course can hold a charge even when the mains is disconnected. I want therefore to discharge them for safety's sake. But I do not know what they look like, what voltage they are, and therefore whether [...]

My PR603 is alive again!

By |2020-06-10T03:36:52+01:00June 10th, 2020|Categories: Personal, Technics Instruments|

I've owned my SX-PR603 since 2000 and have just used it to practice music for church (which has a PR602) and for playing back midi files through the floppy drive or from my computer. After moving to Missouri in October of 2018, I didn't have time to play it much but it was working. Come Christmas, I moved it across the room to make way for the Christmas tree and it suddenly quit working with only the power LED coming on. I could not find anyone locally or even in the US to fix it but did find Mike Barden at [...]

Something Different

By |2020-03-28T23:43:52+00:00March 25th, 2020|Categories: Article, Musical Musings, Personal, Technics Instruments|

This is a first for me.

RHYTHM After doing (Right 1), (Right 2), and (Left) into (Panel Memory 1), try doing the same thing for each (Rhythm Group).  That's right there are 15 (Rhythm Groups), excluding (Rhythm Group) (Memory).  1.  Pick a rhythm in each (Rhythm Group).   2.  Exclude (Rhythm Group) (Memory).   3.  Save to (Panel Memory 1) (Expand). Now when you recall (Panel Memory 1) for a song you have 17 (Right 1) registrations. 17 (Right 2) registrations, 17 (Left) registrations, and 15 (Ryhthms) at your disposal at any time during your playing.  This is impressive to be able 51 registrations and 15 rhythms [...]

Hi All, I hope you’re keeping safe and well! The recent server issues are fixed, it was an easy fix in the end but took many days to find the cause!
