Dead Waldorf XTk Power Fix

A little bit ago my Waldorf XTk bit the dust. After some research on the Waldorf User list and forums I thought the problem might be with a faulty power supply. The XTk uses a line-lump supply mounted inside its case. It's very similar to a standard laptop power adapter. Well, unfortunately, in my case it turned out to be fine which meant the problem was further up the chain. I was a bit worried the synth was fried. Fortunately I'm friends with Scott Rise of Divsion 6. He took a look, found the problem and sure enough fixed it. Thank you Scott! It turned out to be the transient voltage suppressor diode the green arrow is pointing to in the image. Scott replaced it and the XTk fired right up. You can find the details on the fix on his MODD3D site here.

Now it should be read for next Halloween.

MAM Warp 9 Analog Filter

"19" rackmounable in great condition, includes original power supply.

Excellent working condition, no issues and in great cosmetic condition.

Excellent filter with tons of options, nothing really like it available on the market today. First off, it's fully analog, which is pretty important for a filter, as you can help warm up your digital gear with this. It's got Low Pass, High Pass and Band Pass filter modes. Every parameter is able to be controlled via CC messages through MIDI, so you can run your DAW tracks through this and record your live knob tweaks MIDI signals, then edit those tweaks in your DAW and play those back. I think that feature alone is the best part of this unit. 32 presets can be saved to the unit, which is great considering how many parameters there are. The modulation features are very extensive, just read below on that. It's also got a distortion switch which I think adds to the resonance and gives some grit to your sound, really cool for drones.

These units haven't been produced in 10 years and are extremely rare (as are some other similar rack mount effects units from that era, I've been looking for a Filtered Coffee unit for years!)..."

"It sounds great... Everything works except voice 2 & 4 Res encoder.
Not sure what's the issue. It worked fine the last time (2012) I used it.
But when testing out tonight, it has no effect on that voice. (unless I wiggle the encoders)
It could be cold solder joints. ?? Possibly an easy fix.
Even so, this synth sounds amazing.
Analog, water-like bubbles from the LFO to VCF...
Monster growls in unison mode...
It's a super - extremely versatile - synthesizer.
MIDI control.. No CV option."
