This is somewhat long. I will make it as short as I can.
My Yamaha Motif XF6 appears to have developed a short or something in three
or possibly more keys. Sometimes, I hit one of them hard and get little
response, while other times, I will bearly touch a key and it sounds as if I
struck it hard. The Motif is two and a half years old and is no longer
under any sort of warranty. Now for my issue:
I have an Yamaha SY-77 which is now almost 25 years old and has only
required a repair to the disk drive and is in need of a system battery. I
have it connected to Sonar via a MIDI Sport 2x2 box. I have set the input
on all MIDI tracks to the MIDI Sport. When I hit a key on the SY-77, there
is an almost three-second delay before the soft synth I am using produces
sound. Any thoughts on settings I might check and change? This just
supports the common belief that, "They don't make things like they used to."
I love the Motif but the SY-77 has gone through three moves and lots of
performances in its early days and it hasn't died yet!
Any help is greatly appreciated.
