It's been a while- some sudden health issues that have resolved, thankfully. but, yes - the d16xd seems to do just fine without the cooling fan. it works well. today i have replaced the 8 input expansion with the 2 input tube expansion and i hope that will still work well. i have put the 8 input expansion into my d32xd and i have replaced the fan. (i think the d32xd actually does need a fan. it has a double power supply, comparted to the d16xd. or could ot be the tube expansion that needs some extra coolong and should i pay more attention to the d16xd now? anyway - i have doubts about the way i put the alt cooling fan in. i will have to check that.....

My D16XD has the tube pre-amp fitted. All works fine.
I think the tube may work as a cold cathode.
I sketched out a circuit diagram for the module (somewhere).
Tap the signal path just before the converter, and the module could be used stand-alone.
I have a spare tube module.

you might have guessed by now, i know nothing about electronics. i had a d16xd with 8 input expansion and bought a d32xd with the tube expansion. that one suddenly stopped and went into standby, the 2nd day i used it. with a lot of noise from the speakers. after a while i started it up again. this happened again the next day. and in the end i got a psu failure message at start up. the fan in that d32xd had been replaced and got its power from the harddisk (a big one!) with some components added in between, one might be a capacitor. i removed that, replaced the cooling fan with one i know that would work, connected it as its originally meant to be connected. cut out the extra components and put in the 8 input expansion instead of the tube amp. it seems to work fine now. then i tried replacing the expansion and it worked fine but after 5 or 10 minutes, the sound on one of the channels was lost and now there's a lot of noise when i put the volume up. this might have started after it had warmed up, like after 5 or 10 minutes. also, i remember this occurred beffore, after i had had the first meltdown and the d32xd going to standby with a bang (from the speakers.) could it be something has been damaged when the machine suddenly stopped earlier on? like maybe a tube? it's a shame, i like that board and would prefer it over the 8 input board.

Hey I'm new here! My username is COOKI CHREME (like cookies and cream) I wouldn't call myself anything but a lover of music. I can feel the music emotionally and mentally it empowers me to become more creative through singing, dance, and even art. I love singing but everyone tells me I'm not very good at it or should have vocal lessons. I've tried everything (except paying for vocal lessons) but I recently started singing online and people have told me I'm very good at singing and even voted me very highly in a karaoke game. I'm so confused! I don't even have a good mic, auto tune, filters, or anything, I just sing. Please tell me what this could be.

Thanks, CHIPS.

i am sorry, i keep forgetting this is not the right thread for these posts. my bad. anyway - i took the korg apart yesterday and re-assembled it. then it worked. this morning no problems, everything worked well, including tube expansion. so.... thanks.
