   Has anyone using an A3000/3000T or any Amiga with an Ensoniq EPS 16plus
ever had any problems or damage come to the keyboard, like not being able to
use the keyboard anymore from its own keyboard?

   The first time the keyboard died I had the keyboard connected through an ECE
midi/pass-through switch box which connects to the serial port. I use Bars n
Pipes Pro always to control the keyboard.

   I got it fixed for $300 and put a one-stop music shop in my tower and
connected the keybaord to the Amiga through that, but, once again, the keyboard
got damaged somehow in the same exact way, not right away mind you, after a
while of using it.

   This time I haven't repaired it yet. I want to know if there's any kind of
special hard/software setup that maybe has to be done that I'm not doing that
could be causing damage.

   Now I have an A4000 and I'm very reluctant to connect the keyboard to it.
BTW, no damage seems to have ever come to the Amiga or the midi board or switch
box, just the keyboard.

   If you're happily using an ensoniq keyboard with your Amiga, let me know.
Thanks.
