Well, it has occured to me that half of the shit on my Yamaha CS6X isn't working.. When I got it, I'm not sure if only some of the things not working now worked then, as it took me a while to learn all the different aspects to sound generation and synthesis. The point is, now, for the most part the effects processing, LFO wave-shape/speed changing, and even when making changes with the oscillator (adding/subtracting wave forms from a voice) just sometimes won't do shit. When I was inexperienced I thought that some of these things change the actual sound only slightly and that it is hard to pick up on, but after working with many other synths I now know that these things should change the sound dramatically. Not all of the things I listed ALWAYS dont work, but more often than not they dont. So I'm left with trying to fuddle by with it (which is fine for my band cuz i just do catchy-type leads and the presets and voices I have made are good enough.. but for electronica I can't really tweak like I would want to) or trying to sell it to get another one. But, I can't really sell it to someone in good conscious because I guess this is effectively the 2nd time I've been fucked over trying to get a synth (first time, deadbeat seller ripped me off) and I wouldnt want to do that to someone else. But I cant afford a new keyboard unless I sell this one. The other thing is that Sam Ash now sells mine brand new for what I paid on Ebay, back when what I paid was a really good deal, so I'm guessing there wont be too big of a market for it anyway. What would you do? |

if i were you, i'd read the manual. whenever i think things actually are broken (ie. physically fucked up) its usually just some obscure software thing, or cos i just plain havent read the documentation properly. plus, if a cs6x was broken, i think it would probably either tell you, or not turn on at all. |

Are you sure it's not working. I know the sequencing/multitimbrality aspect of the CS1x was a bit strange. People had major difficulties getting it to work with the non-XG sounds. I would sell it in good confidence and clear conscious. It's not your fault if the buyer doesn't grasp the technology he is buying. You do realise that for an LFO to actually change the sound, it has to be modulating something. If it's just running on it's own, you won't hear the change, even if you change the LFO waveform. Unless, it can go into audible frequncies, which isn't that common on cheaper synths. Set the LFO to modulate Filter cut-off frequency. Turn up the modulation Amount and change the LFO speed/frq. High speeds should sound like farting, no matter what sound you have dialed in. Maybe your synth is OK, I've been in the same situation myself with my first Ensoniq synth. Now, if it is broken, maybe Yamaha can fix it for you. -P |

Thanks for the suggestions, yeah I know what you mean about the LFO farting issue. I'll try to do what you guys have suggested, but even still, I can't explain why the effects processing just all of a sudden wouldnt work. Of all the things, the effects is what works the least (basically chorus and reverb and occaisonally a delay is all that will work out of 82 fx, and another thing, sometimes it glitches and wont even show them all... actually it never shows them all, which bothers me..) I just remembered another thing, sometimes when switching through different areas of editing, some of the "pages" to edit certain things just wont come up at all, as if my synth doesnt know they exist... I really wish there was some kind of OS update for it but I know there's not. |
