Hey all, here's the skinny! I was at an estate sale this morning, and as I was getting ready to leave I saw a plastic cover that looked "instrument-like". I pulled the cover off and there before my eyes was a Rhodes 660 with the original power supply AND the foot pedal, and let me tell you that this is in MINT condition! I asked what they wanted and was told $25.00, so I shut my mouth, paid and left!!! I got this beauty home and turned it on and found that it only plays one note and I believe it's at the "split" point of the keyboard. Should I just do a factory reset, or what button do I need to press to get this rolling full steam? Please note: ALL the presets work, but just played on that one note!

Start with a factory reset and see how that goes. Maybe the sellers knew it wasn't working properly when they took $25 for it.
I listened to Hatfield and the North at Rainbow. They were very wonderful and they made my heart a prisoner.

After reset, try it via MIDI. At least that will narrow down if it's a problem with the keyboard itself.

Did factory reset help? I wonder if there is any problem with the synthesizer or the former owners were simply too lazy to tune the instrument.
