AKAI AX80 Banks A&B Patch Parm Setting Values

I have an AX80 whose green & black graphic display (VSD?) is no longer working. While I was able to locate a website to load the A & B banks, it appears that because of at least this (and I believe a failed chip inside), I’m unable to load any of that data to the machine. While it seems that I can manually update parameters for each of the 45? settings per patch (like DCO, filter, etc), is there anyone who knows where I can find these numerical settings for each of the A & B bank patches? I know inputting manually can be quite tedious, but I think it’ll be worth it.

Technically, anyone who has a fully-working unit can get these settings manually.

At the time I’m writing this, I understand that there are at least several other people looking for VSD replacements for their machines. Also, from what I understand, Akai has not published these settings.

Thank you so much for your time!

P.S. I sound like a dinosaur using the term “patch” - I learned the term after playing an Arp-2600 in high school in the early 1980’s. :slight_smile:

My battery failed some years ago and since then I programmed my own sounds for banks A and B. From what I remember the original patches were nothing to write home about.

I’ve created a nice collection of basses, pads and SFX sounds that work for my taste in music.

I’m willing to share them but manually writing down all the values is arduous.

You can always buckle,down and poke away at it for a few hours each evening like I did.
