Before you replace:

Try to swap the chip for voice 2 with that of another one and see if the problem moves as well.

Sometimes just pressing down on the chips to reseat them in the sockets is enough.

Removing them or putting them back might help as well.

Just don't cuddle with your cat on a nylon carpet before you go in there...

 

BR,

Peter

Subject: [oberheim] Matrix-1000: one voice faulty, replace chip

 

Hi

I recently bought a Matrix-1000, which the seller claimed was in perfect condition. When it arrived, I quickly discovered this was not so :-(

One of the voices (or one of the oscillators of one of the voices ) is not functioning properly, the symptoms vary a lot from one patch to another.... from being completely silent to having a wrong pitch or other anomaly)

I did return to factory defaults + ran calibration: no effect.

Then I put it in "show voices played" mode, and the faulty voice always shows up at voice number 2.

Any idea if this means I can have one of the CEM chips in it replaced
Anyone with similar experiences

grateful for any help or tip

regards
