Stupid broken Europa mod that no longer has any support... I believe I fixed mine by fully resetting Europa, but I don't have it anymore so I can't remember the process.DNLSCL wrote:Same problem with my Jupiter 6!
Any ideas on how to solve this?

Re: Prophet T8 CPU glitch? Video link included
So here's where I am at with the T8 and this problem: I really think it's the Z8002A processor. I originally checked the power supply to confirm the voltages were correct. Everything is good there. However, I did not check the power rails on the board itself when the problem started; I kept a meter ...

Re: Prophet T8 CPU glitch? Video link included
That's ok... I used Freeze spray on the offending CPU to see if that changed anything but it didn't. I'll keep poking around.

Prophet T8 CPU glitch? Video link included
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6nrr2EJSkw&feature=youtu.be I've included the issue and also I'm showing what happens when you hit the tune switch. Then just a general overall pan of the CPU and voice card boards. So recently, another issue cropped up where as the synth warms up, I suddenly only g...

Seems like it was a rebadged Vox piano also... wow. So this thing has been around the block as a generic analog piano....Mooger5 wrote:It´s a rebadged Jen Pianotone.

Re: Bought a Prophet T8... how alone am I?
That's not a bug- it's a feature. Yeah, I think I was able to finally understand that now that I've gotten to play with it a while. I was actually going to post an update on the issues I am having with it still, though they're not deal-breakers. Just wondering what could be causing a couple things:...

Re: Prophet T8, repaired pop noise - but overall sound too h
At the risk doing more damage but realizing it doesn't work anyway, I decided to pull the 2 op-amps (LF356N and 353N) on the output board and the CEM3360 VCA. Powered on, got nothing. No hum, no feedback. Ok, good. I put the VCA back in, powered on. Works! Get sound, everything works it's just fairl...

Re: Prophet T8, repaired pop noise - but overall sound too h
don´t you have the schematic ? Make sure you choose the correct reference points. Chassis will not work as a ground reference here. Apart from the regulated voltages the PSU also makes the unregualted DC of both rectifiers available at the connectors. that would explain your 49V. br Arne I do have ...

Re: Prophet T8, repaired pop noise - but overall sound too h
I still haven't gotten around to recording a good sample of the T8 for comparison... Last night I re-capped the voice cards and found no difference. I wasn't really expecting one, but it was worth it to me to change out 32 aging caps. Tonight I decided to finish the recap with the power supply. That...

Re: Prophet T8, repaired pop noise - but overall sound too h
I replaced everything on the output board... A complete re-cap is in order, I had already replaced the caps in the funky voice but I noticed the caps they used originally all have different markings and look like they face all different directions. I’m pretty sure if I do a connectivity test between...

Prophet T8, repaired pop noise - but overall sound too hot?
Just an update to my Prophet T8 - I was having issues with two things, one being that the overall sound seemed overdriven, and two, there was a static "pop" coming from somewhere that would appear in every couple notes, or so it seemed. I was able to track down the pop to voice 4 on the left-side bo...
