MC-505 acting weird

Post by bcnx »

Hi all,

I have a working MC-505 and a MC-505 that acts differently. I'm trying to find out of the second one is broken or not.
Two examples of different behaviour:

- in Play Quantize: the working one shows sequentially the LEDs for Grid, Groove and Shuffle when pressing the button. The other MC-505 shows the LEDS for Grid and Groove at the same time and then the LED for Shuffle, and next nothing.
- In Part Mixer: the working one also shows the LEDs sequentially when pressing the button below. The other one shows Pan and Level at the same time, same story for the Reverb and Delay LEDs.

The LCD is broken, but it is my understanding that can be fixed.

Has my second MC-505 gone to heaven?

Cheers,

BC
