MicroKorg = Slow Changes + No Sound
Posted: Sun Sep 16, 2018 11:01 am
Hi team,
I just picked up a second hand MicroKorg today. Plugged it in, all lights up perfectly. But no sound output. I go through all troubleshooting procedures and all YouTube / forum suggestions to help, but nothing works.
At the same time, there appears to be a significant delay when changing patches / making any sort of adjustment. I turn a knob or push a program button and the LED screen takes two seconds, sometimes more, to process the change.
I've read one or two other posts online about this same problem - slow computer processing on the board, and no sound. Has anybody here experienced this too? And if so, do you know what the fix is? A new main board? The synth is in great physical condition, I'd like to get it working if possible, but I don't want to spend a fortune if it's an expensive fix. Thank you in advance,
Craig
