Synclavier Optical Formatted HDD Question

Hey synthheads, Does anyone know if you can copy files from an HDD formatted as Optical to W0: or W1 ? The R page "seems" to have a way to do this, but I can't get it to work. The reason I ask is my Opcopy failed at around 9k files of 12k (errors out) and I'm not sure why, as the copylog was unreada...

Synclavier STM acting a bit weird

Hey There, I noticed last night (during a sampling session), that my left channel signal is quite a bit lower than my right. I did all the easy troubleshooting swapped cables/mics &c. but nothing made any difference. Anyone else ever come across this? I swapped the daughter boards around and that di...

Re: Synclavier **sick**

Hi Everyone, I know it has been over a year since I started this thread, but I wanted to follow up with you all and close the loop. I was back up and running again by 10/24/13, for a total of ~ 3 weeks of "downtime", and fully operational (with 100k sampling back up) by 11/4/13. SO SORRY for the lon...

Re: Synclavier **sick**

Great Leads - Thank You. I got brave last night and removed the Power Supply in question, and things did NOT get any worse, so I think I have successfully troubleshooted the issue. I rang out the Bridge Rectifier and it's good, so looking more and more like the step down x-former. I also believe I h...

Re: Synclavier **sick**

OK - I think I know which power supply is the culprit, but If I can find a place to source it... then I can get my system back up, and work on the bad PS on my workbench, and work on it at my leisure. Does ANYone know where I can get a replacement for an Acme Electric SPW 15-5 and SPW 15-.8? any lea...

Re: Synclavier **sick**

Heh ! Well the power comes in and goes to a number of terminal blocks in the front and back of the system. There are at least 4 power supplies in the unit. I think I know which ones are powering the disk drives and the processor, but there are two others. One up close to the top in the front, by the...

Re: Synclavier **sick**

Hey There and thanks for the reply. Power supplies for Video Game Arcade machines is one of the first things I learned how to do (so maybe that's good) Can you point me to where that Power Supply is ?

Thanks !!!!!

Synclavier **sick**

Hi everyone - I am new to the forum, so if I posted this topic in the wrong place... I apologize. Yesterday My 6400 started acting up, and now has no audio. The +15 and -15 LEDs are no longer lit. It boots normally, and all works, just no sound. I am leaning towards power supply, or one of the inlin...
