Hi There

[Kingofpain678]

One more time around for luck.

I just wanted to say hello...

Any unit that retains a memory after shutting it off has a battery...

Or some kind of nvram like a flash chip.

I think what he meant is any kinda of electric device that retains information while powered off has either some source of energy (for instance, a battery in a PC), or as you mentioned, something that has data physically stored in it such as a hard drive or NVRAM.

Yeah I know, I'm just playing devils advocate... Flash or similar chips with such a small capacity (a few k or even a meg) could be integrated right on the circuit boards, and should cost pennies - WAY cheaper than batteries, so I'm kinda surprised it hasn't moved more in that direction.

I've always wondered that myself...


Seems incredibly inefficient.... and somewhat trivial and simple...

maybe this is too easy, but while it's open, see if the effects circuitry is separate.

if it is, and it has its own ribbon cable, make sure it's tight.

i guess there'd be a good chance that something like that could come loose on a mixer that gets moved about a bit.

hey

i wanna reply this to moresound as i couldn't see anywhere with a watchtype battery u were talking about..

could it be hidden to the top panel and i dont wanna open everything up on the top of the mixer deng ((


any more helps here

and thanks again for those who were trying to help me out . I kno the battery must be sumwhere inside the mixer

Good point Paul!.....this can happen to any ribbon connection.
On some of the early Makie power amps the heat from it's self made the ribbon brittle and would fall apart. Talk about self destruction!

Any unit that retains a memory after shutting it off has a battery Dr. V.....Ive changed many a Yamaha SPX 90 battery. You only get 3 to 5 years out of one and sometimes you luck out and get 7 to 10 years ---with good behavior.

but that wouldn't explain the noise and also, although it wouldn't retain previous settings, the effect should still function once you select new settings.
I'm gonna be surprised if changing the battery fixes it.

Think ur suggesting not to change the battery right lolzz, i still cant find the battery yet. all the ribbon wires r fine ( the effect itself has a lil square panel by itself sitting right underneath the digital preset box ) and all the wires are secured.

I wonder if the battery is on the top of the mixer sumwhere underneath those control buttons (EQs, etcs,..)

 

[kcearl]

have you spoke to behringer? they are generally very decent with their equipment and could maybe offer a solution??

forgot to call them so many times, They r not accepting calls after 5 EST kakaka and im in california will give them a call right now

well ...... I'm not saying you shouldn't ..... it won't hurt anything but I don't think it's gonna solve your current problem. The noise could simply be a dirty pot in which case you're still gonna need to get to that side of the circuit board.

I've never had a problem getting help from Behringer via E-mail.

 

[leadlungbetty]

I have no idea what anyone is talking about but hi there.

 

[Armistice]

Way to up the post count, Betty... you're hanging out for that avatar and sig, aintcha?

Noise coming when you tweak the knob (ooh, that sounds dirty..) sounds more like a dirty pot to me... can of contact spray is always a good investment for muso types..

 

[leadlungbetty]

Not really concerned about the conditional acquisition of virtual real estate. Just saying hi there to be sort of nice I guess.

 

[Lt. Bob]

hi back atcha.

I'm with the Lt on this. Sounds more like a dirty pot on that switch to me.
