Mother 32 only partially poweringing

Post by Zeilliot » Mon Aug 25, 2025 5:11 am

Hi,

I just bought a used Mother 32, and having some issues with it.
The lower, digital part (sequencer, keyboard and Midi) doesn't seem to power on.
The leds all stay off and the button combos don't seem to do anything.
It also doesn't seem to recognize Midi. Sending a sequence or even just clock doesn't do anything.
I tried updating it via Sysex, but nothing happens either.

The LFO and oscillator seem to work normally though. I can see the LFO Led blinking, and the oscillator follows what is send via the patchbay 1V/Oct.

I haven't found any information online, but is it possible that the digital part of my unit is not powered?

Thanks
