    I want to get those faders so they will send fader controls when attached either via midi or USB. It would be so awsome of those buttons could be assignable as daw control buttons so that you could toggle between internal and control mode for th access to internal keyboard functions or for use as a controller like modern USB midi keyboards

      Unfortunately no, in this situations I try to find a repair manual from the manufacturer in order to search for a part number and look something up by that or find an use/broken one to steal the part I need. Hope this help

    ciao, ho sostituito l'HD della mia tastiera GEM WK4 con una schedina-lettore SD. Fino a che ho la tastiera accesa la SD la vede senza problemi per cui procedo a salvare i miei dati, ma se spengo la tastiera e poi la riaccendo mi dice "Disk access error / operation aborted". Tuttavia i dati rimangono nella scheda SD ma la tastiera non li vede più almeno che formatto nuovamente e devo rifare tutto nuovamente. Dove sbaglio? grazie

    thanks for video, Do you know if you can add sounds like wav to have more instruments in the sound bank? samples?

      @Keepthingsalive  2 года назад

      Hi, thank you! I don't think that you can add sounds. If I remember correctly the only "port" for uploading stuff is the floppy disk one. It should be used for instrumental midi tracks

    May i please ask why it’s important to change the capacitor?
    My apologies, i have an equinox on my side that just had it’s battery removed and there’s no sound playing

    • @Keepthingsalive

      Good to know the cause of the problems 😃
      The capacitor in my keyboard was swollen and it could be leaking electrolytic liquid that is corrosive and could ruin the board. That's why, this kind of capacitors are called electrolytic. It's always good to replace them if you suspect they're going bad

    Can you please give the exact specs on the battery? Is it 4.8v 280mah ?

    • @Keepthingsalive
      @Keepthingsalive  Год назад

      Unfortunately I can't help you since I've bought the battery in a local store more than a year ago (and I don't have any trace for it) and the keyboard was returned to the owner and I don't have access to it anymore.

      I purchased 4 x 1.2v lithium ION 600mah AA batteries and a Battery box with the positive/negative wires attached (about 10€ in total for both batteries and battery holder) I removed the "tampon" battery and soldered the wires to the new battery box to the original "legs" that were soldered to the original battery and the wire were long enough to place the battery box in the right hand speaker compartment. It has charged and worked perfectly for over 18 months now.

      Thanks! for the input I finally bought 4 triple AA's in a plastic wrap that was 4.8v at 600mah I guess that will do.@@anthonywilson508

      ​@@Vangelismusic1 yes, that's perfect! I took advice on the mah from the Facebook page. That page saved me, I almost threw the keyboard away when the backlighting cathode tube for the display died, such an easy fix even for me and that's saying something

    • @Keepthingsalive
      @Keepthingsalive  3 года назад

      Honestly I've found it in an electronic store near me but, depending on where you are, in pretty sure you can find them in an online on physical shop, look for NiCd cell batteries with the legs that fits your board

      Hey there, I can try but that wasn't my keyboard and I only had it for the repair you saw in the video. I don't know if I can be of any help.
