Hi, I opened my key board and first tried to wash
it with a something wet but... the sticky thing was
very hard to wash and it was still there. Then, I
tried a little bit of lighter gas and the result
was #1. But I need, the rubber sheet between the
triggers and the electronic ship, mine seem to be
destroyed where the pads hits. (I don't know if it
is possible to order some, but I will email Ensoniq
about it) thx ciao ps:

which Chitek replied: "I
have taken my ASR-X apart and you can too. Each pad
sits on two springs. The reason why your pad is
sticking is because there is dried up sticky stuff
on the sides of the pad and it doesn't let it come
up and down freely or there is stuff on the bottom
where the pad makes contact with the board and it
gets stuck there. You can open the pad board and
clean it yourself but you have to be careful with
the springs. They can pop out and they are easy to
loose track of. I lost one." To
which I asked... <<
What solvent do you apply to remove the gummed up
sticky stuff? Did it erode the Rubber Pad badly/at
all? >> ...and
