Little Phatty velocity/keyboard issue
Posted: Sun Aug 28, 2022 8:19 am
Hi all - first time poster, new (old!) LP owner. My first Moog even though I've been collecting synths for a while now!
I've just picked up a Stage II, in good condition although it desperately needed calibration (original owner had hardly played it over the last 10 years). Also the pitch bend was very unstable but that seems to have come good after a couple of days.
However it has an issue with the keyboard - approx 10 notes in the middle octave are not sending velocity info (either internally or over MIDI). Before I dismantle it I thought I would see if anyone else has had a similar problem. I do 80% of my own servicing so I'm not afraid of getting in there, but having never worked on one of these I thought it would be prudent to get some advice, any gotchas on getting the keybed out etc.
If it were a single note I would suspect a sensor but I'm guessing it's further downstream - any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
Wez
