There is really no way for a condenser mic to damage the board UNLESS you break the ground and get a static discharge into the input. That can happen with any microphone and has NOTHING to do with the phantom being on or off. As phantom power goes on and off slight bias at the input preamps can make amps non-linear causing the raspy sound you heard. The Phantom LED means NOTHING as it shows the state of the phantom switch by connecting a 12 volt source through a resistor to the LED... It shows NOTHING regarding the state of the 48 volt supply. Each input circuit has two 6.8Kohm resistors to the swinger of the phantom switch 2nd pole that either grounds those or connects them to a filtered 48 volt source. As long as you don't have a static buildup there is NO need to turn phantom power on or off while connecting a condenser microphone. At each input when using the XLR jacks are two per side 470pf capacitors for RF bypass. For the XLR's there is a 10Kohm between the signal lines and two series 10mfd/50 volt caps in series of each input to block the DC, when using phantom power, from reaching the preamp stage. These caps have to charge and discharge when changing the state of phantom power so you should AVOID having the main amps being driven while changing the state of any phantom power. Always have the fader(s) down and any monitors down to avoid a thump and also the non-linear raspy transition as the input caps charge/discharge. So fix the microphone... don't know what type you have, but DO check the cable (first) as ALL three conductors MUST be good for a condenser mic to work on phantom power. A ground leakage or noisy connection will cause your symptoms. Use a SHORT known good cable right at the board to test the mic. The 48 volts is applied through the two 6.8K resistors between both the signal lines to the shield of your XLR cable. The microphone picks off the 48 volts with a similar circuit.
Now let's cover a very important thing regarding system safety: ALL, and I do mean ALL interconnected equipment MUST be powered from the same source. Professionals run a power cord back to their mixer right alongside the snake. This is to avoid ground bounce damage due to bad building grounds or ground faults.

Yes, with some preparation. The music will have to be in a standard MIDI file format or a format that results in standard MIDI over USB output when "played" by computer software or an external sequencer. Within the software you will probably need to create a new "instrument" if there is not already a template for the CVP 305, otherwise the tracks and sub channels in the MIDI file will be patched to GM, probably not what you want to hear.

Reprogramming a Yamaha WX5 Electronic Wind Instrument (EWI) typically involves adjusting settings, assigning functions to different keys, or customizing parameters to suit your preferences. Here's a general guide on how you might reprogram a Yamaha WX5:

1. Access the Menu:
   • Turn on your Yamaha WX5.
   • Navigate through the menu options using the buttons or controls on the instrument. Refer to your WX5's user manual for specific instructions on accessing the menu.
2. Select Parameter to Edit:
   • Once in the menu, find the parameter you want to edit. This could include things like breath sensitivity, pitch bend range, or assigned MIDI channels.
3. Adjust Parameters:
   • Use the controls provided on the WX5 to adjust the parameters. This might involve turning knobs, pressing buttons, or using a combination of controls.
4. Save Changes:
   • After making your adjustments, make sure to save your changes. The WX5 typically has a save or store function within the menu. Confirm the changes and save them to the instrument's memory.
5. Refer to the Manual:
   • Consult the user manual for your specific Yamaha WX5 model. The manual will provide detailed information on navigating menus, adjusting parameters, and saving changes.
6. Connect to a Computer:
   • Some advanced customization may require connecting your WX5 to a computer using MIDI. You can use Yamaha's dedicated software, if available, to reprogram certain parameters.
7. Use External Sound Modules:
   • If you're using external sound modules or synthesizers, some customization may need to be done on those devices as well. Refer to the manuals for your MIDI equipment to ensure compatibility and proper configuration.
8. Explore Advanced Settings:
   • Depending on your proficiency and the complexity of your WX5 model, you might explore more advanced settings like custom MIDI mapping or adjusting sensitivity curves.

Remember to approach reprogramming with caution, especially if you are not familiar with all the settings. Make note of the default settings before making changes, so you can revert to them if needed. Always refer to the user manual specific to your Yamaha WX5 model for accurate and detailed instructions on reprogramming and customization. If you're unsure or uncomfortable with the process, consider seeking assistance from Yamaha support or experienced professionals in electronic wind instruments.

Try re loading the software. It's all in the user manual.

My US 1 has had four broken pedals, and now has a fifth. I called Yamaha, and they DO have washers for the pedals but not until March. It is technically what they are calling a "failed instrument." So many of the parts have failed but been successfully replaced until now. The plastic in the pedals becomes old and brittle over time, then reaches a point where it just cracks off. The MDR has been rebuilt too, but is very temperamental. It doesn't allow me to copy discs any more. I'm trying to find a used one to replace it. Any ideas? [email protected]

I would contct Yamaha for a list of repair agents in your country.

You might have an internal fuse blown. If you are capable, open up the keyboard and visually look at the fuses. If one is blown, replace with the same amp rating. Good luck!

Seems the carbon layer under the button needs repair.

Sure, I can help you find the repair and service manual you need. I suggest starting by searching online through authorized Yamaha retailers or in the Yamaha archives. You can also try contacting a local Yamaha dealer for assistance.

Aquire the service manual and record the part number. Speak to Yamaha or one of their agents to obtain a spare part.

The Yamaha Portatone WK 13700 was manufactured in the early 2000s, around 2001-2002. The value of the keyboard today depends on its condition, whether it has been well-maintained or not, and its functionality. A used Yamaha Portatone WK 13700 keyboard in good condition can range in value from $100 to $300. You can try searching online marketplaces such as eBay or Craigslist to get an idea of the current market value. As for the manual, you can try contacting Yamaha directly or searching for it online. Yamaha may have a digital copy of the manual available for download on their website.

However, I can suggest some resources where you may be able to find the electronic diagram for your Yamaha E253 keyboard. First, you can check the user manual or technical documentation that came with the keyboard, as it may include a diagram or schematic of the keyboard's internal components. Alternatively, you can try contacting Yamaha customer support or visiting the Yamaha website to see if they have any technical resources or diagrams available for the E253 model. Additionally, there are online forums and communities for musicians and keyboard enthusiasts where you may be able to find more information or connect with other users who have experience with the E253 keyboard. I hope this helps, and good luck with your search!
