proper screen color of v-synth?

25 Jul 2006, 15:46

I just received a second hand v-synth in the mail. Physically it looks fine and seems to be working from what I can tell, but the screen seems a little strange. It's sort of a muted purple on a easter blue background. Is this normal? It's readable but a bit distracting.

This is the keyboard version, not the XT.

Hi, Have you tried to adjust the lcd contrast knob on the back?
It sounds to me that that might solve your problem.

Cheers

Purple on blue is normal yes. The contrast knob will adjust the readablilty but the colour stays largely the same.

It's actually very readable.

Good to know. Otherwise the synth seems to be in good shape so I'm sure it's ok.

Just getting started with it but so far this looks like a killer instrument.

It is indeed, once you've created a few sounds you want to be able to use it for many parts of a song.
