I used Audio Electronics in Dallas, but they were not able to fix it. I sent the 4 removable cards to Virtual Music in Vienna for repairs and updates, but now I'm being told he (Alex @ Virtual Music) needs mw to send him the entrire synth to diagnose. Best of luck with your repairs.

i just bought one with the original bill in the manual and it says 14000 dutch guilders so with the rates from dose days it was 9000$
OK, so I'm getting the processor's running, the display looks okay. You've got a great deal of digital noise on the analog audio rails it seems like. If you have a scope, you should look at the power rails, all of them, relative to ground, and obviously they ought to be smooth. Are you powering it with a lab supply? The other evidence I see is that the envelopes are opening, but the notes are not changing. Is that right? Do the envelope controls work at all?

@sleat Thanks for the comment, but "English, please." That video was shot at my tech's shop before I took it home. Are far as the envelope controls, I'm not sure - I haven't messed with the synth in nearly 2 years since making this video. I've got a EVU to quench my PPG lust until I get this 2.3 running.

So how did the repair go finally ? Does it work now ? I hope .

Nope, it just sits looking pretty. Alex @ Virtual Music in Vienna wants me to ship the whole unit to him so he can better diagnose. I can't afford to do that right now. I'll be sure to post a video once it's working, but it will be a while :(
