Hello to all,
I am new owner by accident. I have collected Fusion 8hd from junk. I paid something like 15 euros for it. Assuming that is dead and hoped that is not empty inside. Turning on was dead synth as I suspected. I had only backlight and sporadic button leds lit. Since I work professionally with digital and analog electronics, also did lot of designs of digital systems I gave chance to repair the HD8.
After spending some time figuring out www (What Went Wrong) and without any schematics, it took me 10 hours to understand little bit more by downloading a lot of integrated circuits datasheets. Finally after major brainstorming I have discovered one small component (single input Schmitt trigger) which is in charge of conditioning of clock signal form one of resonators to one of its CPU's. The part cost me 2 euros + 25 for shipping. Now this Alesis is brought back from total death.. So at first glance I love this synth! And now I am here, total newbie with this synth.
