**jump to issue
Background: I had a Prodigy that I loved very much from 2001 until it got stolen out of my vehicle in a hotel parking garage after a gig in Minneapolis along with all my other gear; that’s a story for another time. Suffice it to say, a Gofundme got me enough funds to get another prodigy, for which I’m very thankful. I’ve been gigging with it for a couple months now, mainly using it for solos, and:
**sometimes it just stops making sound in the middle of a solo, sometimes just for a split second, other times for up to 2 or 3 seconds (which feels like an eternity when you’re cookin and all of a sudden you’re silent!).
Sometimes I can go a full gig or 2 with no issues, but then it comes back.
It’s upsetting and makes me scared to touch it at all, which does not lend itself to particularly inspired solos.
FYI, I am not in anyway a big synth guy, nor do I know much about even my Prodigy let alone other synths, I just knew how to use my old one, and never had issues like this. I’m known in my area as a synth guy (I’ve won synth player of the year 2 times) because I’m in a popular local band, and used to play some epic solos on my prodigy, but I just figured out how to use that one specific prodigy.
Given all of that, any idea what might be going on? Thanks so much for any suggestions or advice!
) or whatever . Then you or a tech can try a backward analysis on the board, starting at the output going backwards. Fortunately the Prodigy board is easy to repair, I did it that way with my own Prodigy I bought from the Evil Bay.
