How many of you has this happened to. We were playing in November and I had brought my Source along with some EMU gear and Kawai dp. Well all of a sudden during a song the Source decides to get a life of its own. I had to unplug it and continue on with using my Classic Keys and Vintage Keys Modules. The bass player just looked over to me with a WTF look and all I could do is start laughing. When I plugged it back in it just hummed, at least it made it through Lucky Man. The guys asked me after the show why I was laughing, well it took me back to when I used to cart a B3, Melotron, MiniMoog D and a Rhodes around back in the early 70’s and at least 1 of them always got tempermental during the night.
Sounds like the “crazy source” syndrome, common problem. There is a fix.
I gigged with vintage gear for years and knock on wood they have held up well. After some hot-rodding for better reliability no less.
yeah crazy source it is! mine did the same on a gig-its due to corroded battery terminals.do a search on cray source on the web and all will be revealed.
Hahahaha wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Mine used to love that trick. It doesn’t seem to act up anymore. I can’t tell you why.
Oh… yeah. I can. I had it serviced!
should be picking up up from being serviced soon, as it developed an intermittent problem which I thought was a grounding issue but just couldn’t track down.
