Title: Midi input doesn't work the first 5-7 minutes
Post by: brian_ronn on March 17, 2021, 12:46:52 AM
Hi Emu fanatics

When powering on my EIIIrack the midi input doesn't work the first 5 to 7 minutes. After that timeframe the midi kicks in.

The PSU has been replaced a year ago so that shouldn't be the problem.

Could it be some capacitor that needs to load or warm up before working?

Do you know what to look for?

Best regards Brian

Hi

I pulled out the midi card and pulled out the IC's to give them a good brush and clean. This looks like it solved the problem.

Since then I have booted up the EIIIR five times without any midi incidents.

Best regards Brian
