Electone D-65 Custom Voices don't sound.

[Guest]

Have just purchased a D65 (it's a long story) and the Custom Voices do not sound on upper or lower manuals, or I should say they do sound but very very faintly in the background.</P>


Has anyone out there got any ideas for fixing this problem, bearing in mind that I am no technician. I have the Service/Repair Manual for reference if required</P>


Thanks in anticipation.</P>

This is quite common, I'd guess, as I've come across it several times myself on various organs from this era. It's been discussed here before but I can't recall what the solution was! Contacts on the push buttons and rocker tabs would be the first place to start. Give them a good clean with something like De-Oxit.</p>

One of our Yamaha experts or 'tame' engineers will probably know for sure, but you might also ask on the Yamaha Electone group. I think it's www.electone.com</p>

G'day,</P>


A couple more thoughts. </P>


There is a volume slider adjacent the custom voices section - is it pulled all the way down.</P>


In the ensemble section there is a red tab called "custom voices" - is it switched on. In the same section there is a black tab that directs custom voices to the lower keyboard. Also another tab that allows custom voices to sound along with the upper keyboard tone levers.</P>


Remember that using any form of ABC function will override custom voices if used on the lower keyboard.</P>

Thanks for that Andy I will try to locate some De-Oxit.</P>


I have had a look through some of the posts back as far as 2004on the electone.com pages but without success.</P>


Thanks again</P>
