EXB-DI install

[paulifra]

Remember !!!


Some Oasys machines have first to be serviced before you can mount the exb-di card .

This depents on your serial number.

All oasys before a certain serial number do have this problem.

I do not remember the exact serials for o76 and 088, but it is in one of the many posts here.

You have to send in you oasys for this complex servicing.

It can not be done by the user himself.


PROBLEM:
There is a known potential issue regarding digital noise (pops and clicks) involving the OASYS and the EXB-DI ADAT board, which ONLY occurs when ALL of the following conditions are met:
-- you have an early OASYS unit (low serial number)
-- you have the EXB-DI installed
-- you clock the OASYS from an external word clock source (if you use the internal OASYS digital clock you won't have a problem).

SOLUTION:
There is a formal "ADATMOD Service Kit" (parts and instructions) that can be installed by a Korg Authorized Service Technician. The repair primarily involves the replacement of a PCI card. The technician involved in my repair (I just had this done) said the repair is pretty straightforward. The hard part (and most of the time involved) was actually gaining access to the part of the OASYS where the repairs are made.
