The SPX-2000 came out 10 years later as far as I know!?

So,I played( by chance) this keyboard today, and I was blown away by the quality of its internal effect processor. Is there any Yamaha rack equivalent?

Thanx Bill!

You can try cleaning them with a few drops of rubbing alcohol or contacts spray. Other than that I cant think of any other failure except the eproms. Maybe it co...

So, now it's not working. Patches are storing with mistakes and strange names, and sounding weird. Any chance to fix it?
