Korg has a drinking problem
Posted: Tue Aug 21, 2018 2:51 pm
Last gig, a glass of cranberry&Fireball fell off a shelf. I thought it had just hit the floor, coating my cables, and splashing my pedals, but, last couple songs, where I play my Minilogue, I discovered wet bass keys... apparently it took a bit of a drink.
First patch where I just drone a D for a bit, it sounded fine. Second patch, where it is used fairly extensively through the song, it was pretty much just punching out the filter attack and a muddy bassy tone.
I wiped it down when I got home, and dried it out, and left it alone for a week or so before next practice. Again, it seemed fine initially, but, buy the time it was good and warm, and attempting the song again, the tone was way off, strong filter attack, followed by an indistinct bass wub. ... I’m going to have to open this thing up and clean the internals.
I haven’t really found any good maintenance notes for the Minilogue online, and I’m not experienced pulling apart synths - any of you have recommendations for cleaning booze out of an analogue synth?
