I became disillusioned with the type of "music" the synth and its MIDI interface could produce: it all sounded so "mechanical" and un-natural to my ears compared to the sound that real musicians, even poorly trained ones, could bring forth from their instruments.
Long story short: I was able to produce loud sounds but apparently had zero talent for producing anything resembling music. And just for good measure, I also purchased a slightly used Conn electronic organ. So I purchased a Roland synthesizer, a MIDI piano keyboard, a stereo receiver/amplifier, and boxed up a pair of automobile speakers (designed to mount in the car doors) and attempted to "make music" with that rig via my personal computer. So glad to hear your earlier adventure did not "brick" your keyboard! No bourbon necessary, just glad to be of some help here.Ī few years ago, in the previous century, I fancied I might want to do something "electronical" with music.
While I have electrical knowledge and multi-meter, if I open up keyboard I have no other diagnosis kit. I can buy new dc adapter (about £9-15) but may not get me far: is this only way to diagnose? (or should it is be protected by a diode?) Possible when I first tried it was wrong way! Would that have blown input stage in keyboard? (Probe is very narrow and not tight in keyboard connection). But unclear which way gives positive to central probe? That has 2 pin connector between lead from adapter to dc probe to device.īelieve it reverses dc power by inserting pins 180 degrees round.
Seller positive it works sent photo with keyboard light on.ĩV power adapter works - light on, tested by PC shop today. Packaging was not great but no obvious damage or other symptoms. Model CTK501, bought from Ebay (perhaps bad idea!): indicator light not on. Glad for advice to get my 2nd hand keyboard working!
