ESI Diagnostic
Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2012 8:12 am1. Diagnostic Mode
The ESi has a basic diagnostic mode for testing various parts of the system.
CAUTION: This can damage your sampler!
To enter diagnostic mode, go to the Master module, choose option 8, then in the Special module enter 0. It now asks you to enter the magic code, which is 1358.
There are now several tests you can perform on various parts:
Test Section Details
0 Panel/Keybd Test Checks out every front panel button and the LCD
1 RAM Test Checks out the CPU and sample RAM, this takes a long time !
2 Serial Test Tests the MIDI ports
Note: for this test to work you MUST connect a MIDI lead from the MIDI OUT to the MIDI IN sockets on the back of the unit. Without this lead in place, the test will fail.
You have been warned!
3 Jack DetectionTest Tests the submix output jack
4 Effects RAM test Checks out the Turbo FX chip
5 Verify/Initialize EEPROM Resets the EEPROM to factory defaults after verifying
6 Init Digital I/O Resets digital I/O
7 Sinewave Test Emits a 1kHz or 19kHz test signal
8 AutoTest Tests CPU RAM, G-chip, sound RAM and hard drive.
This test destroys all hard disk data !!!
9 Disk Diagnostics Checks out the floppy and hard disk drive with a variety of tests
