YouTube is now forcing adverts on users in a pretty unpleasant and intrusive way, so I haven't watched the video. Re-capping the power supply might be worth trying, or taking it to an electronics tech to investigate. Electrolytic caps in the audio path may also need replacing. Does the Master ...

What is the correct Eprom model for this case? I bought a 256, I have an eprom recorder, and when I turn on the keyboard, it just flashes the panel numbers and the arpegiator Speed led stays on... the rest goes off...

Knob rotary encoder Korg Ns5r

Hi, does anyone know where I can get the Korg Ns5r rotary encoder knob? Or another compatible? I've looked in many places and I can't find it! <a embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/22591487@N07/51317983839/in/dateposted-public/" title="unnamed (2)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr ...

Re: O1 WFD Music Workstation Problem

Not sure I'm in right place to ask but I have a problem I was wondering if anyone could help: I brought the workstation out of the attic after maybe 6-8 years of not playing. Firstly it was saying low internal battery which I replaced and is fine. The problem is the Value up button doesn't work in ...

could you post a video about it? put it on youtube and put the link here for us to check it out... most likely it's a problem on the display, since you say it's possible to use it as a controller and all the buttons respond (is it still possible to hear the internal sounds?)

Korg 01wFD turning off, transformer problem?

I've had this 01wfd for a long time, and it has a chronic problem... before, when I turned it on, it made some crazy noises when touching the keys, and after a few minutes, the noise disappeared, it was like everyone the internal timbres started to loop when playing a single key... and I noticed ...

Re: Korg 01wfd turn off and no power again!

Those voltage values are all ok! I don't think that the transformer is faulty. Are those voltages you've measured still present if the synth 'switches off by himself'? Or only when in working order? If they're present under both conditions the problem lies 'behind' the transformer. If that issue ...

Re: Korg 01wfd turn off and no power again!

Judging from your video: you don't measure correct! That connector goes straight to the transformer where the output voltages are AC ! But your meter is set to DC ! Related to your video you have (from right to left) the colors: red - black - red (for generatiing +12V / -12V) and black(?) - blue ...

Here, some measurements! Fuses, none are broken... and tested the disconnected psu from the board ... I checked the floppy connector on the board, if it was sending the 5v, and no ... it's not

The same with my 01wfd!!!

I think the culprit of my 01wfd not power, is the transformer ... I measure the 5 output pins that go to the psu board, which must be 12v, -12v, 5v and 2 ground ... and no result of these when it it's power on

Re: Korg 01wfd turn off and no power again! What is this?

Possible cause is a common 01/W problem, leaking electrolytic capacitors. See https://hajo.kessener.net/electronics/korg-01w-no-sound-repair/ I made noew some voltage measurements on the input pins of the CN21A connector, and I noticed that when turned on, the voltages are very low, they are no ...

Korg 01wfd turn off and no power again! What is this?

Helo! I was playing normally here at home, and the keyboard just turned off on its own, and didn't turn on again! When I press the power button, it is possible to hear the noise that it was turned on, through the audio output, but that's it ... no LEDs, no display, like dead ... has anyone seen this ...

Korg 01wfd problem! Noises and scratches!

I have a big keyboard problem ... My keyboard is having this problem, shown on video ... I don't know what the cause may be, I didn't see any capacitors stuffed ... however, a friend gave me a light, that the central capacitor of the 25v PSU, is not charging enough to send the necessary voltage to ...
