Roland D-50: replacing volume switch board. PT.1


YouTube via TheSynthFreq | July 24, 2010

"Hi. This is a short video of the process of replacing a volume switch board in the Roland D-50. On my D-50, the volume/bender board was faulty and would either cut out the sound altogether if I tried to change the volume, or it would crackle with any kind of volume change. So, my friend had found a "donor" D-50 volume switch board and since being replaced, it works perfectly, like a new synth. D-50 is a happy synth. :)
I am going to have to get used to being able to change the volume normally, not with the [patch edit] + [output volume], then [inc/dec] all the time. lol


(Please excuse my horrible explanations! ) lol

Please enjoy.
:) TSF"

"Hi. Here is part two of the D-50 volume/pitch bend board replacement.
This video is basic and just shows the keybed and main board already in place. I am finishing up the main board replacing and D-50 is almost completely back to its happy synthesizer self. lol :)"
