Re: Lost....

To be honest I didn't know about the inverter, I guess I should change it out too? What does the inverter do? I'll check the banks for that pipe organ sound and if I ever have any spare time I'll try making one myself, fat chance!! ;=)
Thanks....

  What were you planning to do, change the backlight alone or the inverter 
  too? I can tell you that both have probably failed. There's an inverter 
  found at DigiKey that works in the synth w/o whining like the original 
  one, but it has a different pinout(You'll have to use wire jumpers)

  It could be in one of the multiple sound banks in the group's files 
  section or maybe it's user-made. You could maybe use a waveform analyser 
  to get the harmonics and have fun editing the sound to get it back though.

  Well, you could probably find the card on eBay for an high price if you 
  want the Kawai DC-32 logo on it, but I found two or three stores selling 
  equivalents, since they are quite common cards. All I need to know is 
  the size of the card. Maybe a DC-32 is not 32Kb. I know that an 
  oversized card could actually work, but it would be space waste and not 
  worth paying the extra money.(I have no idea of the price of these 
  cards, I need to get a quote from the store)
