Hey guys!
I have two of these rare stage performers. But can't find manual. Any help? I would love to program them - but they're extremally cryptic synths with hidden functions. I've heard once that you can achieve full programmability only by sysex.

It's strange, but i really need manual for synth. First time. I can't find scans on the net.
Most functions are hidden deep, deep, deep... overally, extremely complicated interface.
Any help, guys?

thanks!

Unknown vocoder. I can't find any information about it on the net.
Do you know something about it, guys? Any traces?

Hi! Keyboard in my cs30 died yesterday. It doesn't send trigger signal, but cv works - i can hear it when sequencer triggers envelopes - pitch changes when i play keyboard. CS30 connected (as controller) to other synth changes pitch correctly, but there's no "key off" signal and envelopes are consta...

So this is where my cunning plan fails...

Hey,

i have venturesome idea. I have Bit One with CEMs and badly damaged polysix - but with working ssm chips.
Tell me, bit one owners: are there any (or - if there are - how many) differences in electronics of early bit one factory ssm models and later, cem ones?
Is simple swap possible?

Thanks otto, now i know everything.

Hi My polivoks need some service - keyboard cleaning, tuning. Also phones out and signal in jacks doesn't work, probably need simple soldering. There's problem - i'm used to user friendly rolands, korgs... but what should i do to open polivoks? I dont know where to put my screwdriver! Maybe there ar...

You need amp. My sh-2000 is very quiet even with switch on "H" position when used only with headphones. So it's probably normal.

Yes, there's metal bar with flat transistor inside. I've checked it for mechanical issues, but can't find any. So it's probablyelectronic - i will look for technician. Now, after your post about the sensor, i'm sure... when i've disassembled sh2000 first time this transistor was very suspicious for ...

You mean it can be done manipulating some internal pots? Only thing i can't do is to replace elements, solder etc.

Hi! I have problem with my roland sh-2000. Aftertouch section doesn't work. I've looked under the hood, but everything seems to be fine - i cant find any visible damage. What can be the problem? Where should i look? What should i do? Unfortunately i don't know much about servicing electronic devices...
