I played in a top-40 band playing hotels when I was 19. I had a VFX and VFX-SD on an Ultimate Support Aphex stand and was told, after failures on the gig and taking in for repairs, that the motherboards were breaking in the center of the board. I supposed the stand didn’t help as there was no support in the middle. I digress. Years later, I bought another SD and it needs a new battery. Any pointers on that step is greatly appreciated.
All said, they remain my favorites and I wish there were a better plug-in version than UVI Vintage Synth. The UI was so nice for the noob I was.
