Korg Delta Repair. Help needed! Subject description: Synth dead. Strings dead. Noise works fine |

Hi all.
I have a little patient with me. A friend ask me if i could have a look.
When testing there was only the noise working. Envelope was doing it´s job too.
So i guess the S 10430 are fine? Or is the Gate from the keys handled by something else?
I will swap the pols/metal film Caps C21-C24 next to the 13600 and the IC will get 13700 exchange because that seems to be the answer to the clicks and pops that come out... but what is with the strings? Anywhere i should look first?
If all is bad i think i will rather midify the thing then source some S 10430. going with all what i heard so far.
Thanks and greets _________________ Sound: https://soundcloud.com/stream Art: http://ketamuworld.blogspot.de/ |

hi,
we are a kind of lazy buggers, so
can u provide the schematics or at least a link to it?
can u point out where u already have measured?
and what was it looking like?
the very first look for me would be the output of the vco.
cheers, gabbagabi |

How did you get on? Any joy? Noise only sounds like something in the TOG/divide down circuitry.
If you've got a scope you should be able to test for the 'raw' waveforms generated by IC 6, the AY-3-0214 (The top octave generator). Its free running so should be generating square waves at all times. If you can see these waveforms you should be able to trace through to to the keyer IC and see if thats working and passing the signal forward when the keys are pressed.
If you've got nothing on the TOG output pins but you can see a waveform on pin 2 (the input) then the TOG is dead. Good news is you can get a clone part these days built around FPGA's. If you've got nothing on the input to the TOG then work back toward the VCO section.
Let us know how you get on |
