Floyd Steinberg | Can I repair this Alesis Micron synthesizer? (Part 2) @mr_floydst | Uploaded February 2022 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
Two weeks ago, I posted a video showing my thought process on finding the flaw in a used #AlesisMicron #synthesizer and an attempt at starting a #electronicsrepair. The synth had a weirdly distorted output and all the knobs, the mod sliders and the pitch wheel didn't work.
Here's a follow up and a conclusion to that story. No table of contents this time, you well need to watch the whole thing or not at all. ;-) There's a conclusion at 08:54, though, if you're in a hurry.

Some bands / artists I've been following for a long time are (among others) Massive Attack, Pink Floyd, Pet Shop Boys, Archive, A-Ha, Yes, Porcupine Tree, John Mellencamp, Jean-Michel Jarre, Metallica, Peter Gabriel and Perturbator. So my music will kind of sound like those (without ever reaching the greatness of those artists, of course). :-)
