Title: 4040E Keyboard stuck (spacebar)
Post by: Sound Chief on July 27, 2021, 02:04:53 AM
I’m having some issues with a keyboard on my SSL 4040E and thought you may have run into this issue at some point.

The Tangerine unit arrived bout 2 weeks ago and everything tested fine. Keyboard, transport, recall, everything was working out of the box as it were, which really was surprising and gratifying for the amount of work I’ve done on the console.

Yesterday, the mini E keyboard spacebar (I think) is acting like its stuck as its creating over 200 new location points in Pro Tools.

The keyboard beeps as expected when booting up the Tangerine. The problem starts up after the console is warmed up. I’ve checked all connections and reseated all cables on the keyboard and the ribbons under the desk going to the TAI.

I’m running the Atomic for power so its not the supply :)

Seeing I could not test the keyboard without a computer until the Tangerine arrived, maybe its always been an issue - not sure.

Really appreciate any ideas you may have.

Unsure if this helps.  But I have spares if you need. (E series keyboard units)
